Writergrrrl and JuniorOnline, I agree with you guys on skipping Flash sites. Get me into the site, so I can do whatever I've gone there to do.
ADAM does make a good point about engaging emotions, but, to me, a Flash presentation is warranted in relatively few categories, e.g. entertainment, computer graphics, advertising agencies--any product or service that is sold with emotion or is very visually oriented. Accountancies, locksmiths, and dry cleaning establishments just don't need a dazzling Flash intro to entice people into a site. Give me the facts, m'am, just the facts.
So, that's the choice: a fancy-schmancy intro that no one will see because no one can find it, or foregoing the intro and working to get ranked well enough to be found.
Got it! Thanks, folks!
