I get all kinds of people asking me about whether they should create a Flash or HTML-based website, whether Flash is SEO friendly, whether I would I ever create a Flash website, etc.

So in response to these questions, my answer is collective no…for the most part. Though flash certainly can be cool and aesthetically pleasing, it just simply can’t compare to the SEO compatibility of HTML. Each designer must consider the pro’s and con’s of Flash and HTML when creating a site. To learn how, where, and when to use flash, check out this great post on the Best Uses of Flash. I think it breaks down the concepts pretty well. Enjoy!
