"7 reasons to avoid Flash like the plague", from Sean Carlos

Sean Carlos has shown me this article he wrote recently. I am reading it now, quite an interesting material, and also entertaining for me 'coz I hate flashing web sites (it's not a professional but personal/emotional position).

7 reasons to avoid Flash like the plague when designing a website

here just a summary:

  1. Information embedded in Flash is often invisible to search engines.
  2. Website reporting on Flash navigation is problematic and cumbersome.
  3. Flash breaks web usability standards.
  4. Lack of consistent cross platform support.
  5. Code embedding Flash objects doesn't pass w3c validation.
  6. Some users disable Flash to avoid flash based advertising.
  7. Website updates continually require Flash skills
The rest is here: http://www.antezeta.com/flash-problems.html

Keywords: Flash, Web Development, Sean Carlos

  1. Besides the technical (and good reasons) and also for an "emotional position" of mine, I agree.
