Why Flash only quietly

When the last guest at a party it time for Adobe Flash Player is, House, never heard to spread.

Flash is a thorn in the side of the owner of the website and the visitors, even if you don't already know. It is inaccessible, inefficient, insecure and expensive to develop.

For a medium that constantly changed, the Internet is can quite emotional cultural fads come and go, but that has Web a strong aversion against from the old technical release if you a Web Developer, or ever in are a website have commissioned you probably know that Internet Explorer 6 is a good example for Internet Explorer 6 is now nine years old and at the beginning of a little long in the tooth to search. The problem is, IE6 not appears the same as other sites of current browsers and breaks so everything it touches. Unfortunately, the browser comes with Windows XP, which is still dominated.

Adobe Flash Player is a very different kettle of fish originally known as the passed, there is no alternative technologies the same rich media experience. can achieve time alternatives available (AJAX, jQuery, HTML5) Flash that had penetrated all over the Web was, and is deeply dug. Century America began as a 20th plastic, only to discover we do everything in Flash.In a relatively short Flash was the undisputed poster child for advertising banners, free browser-based games and Web-based Musikplayer.Die of more ardent supporter of Flash began with the construction of entire Web sites of the stuff.

Today, Flash is under-fire a number of enemies.Apple is the most striking new opponents of Flash since 2007 have rejected on the iPhone or the iPad. Flash technologies where the in all but the very special Domänen.The bell tolls for Adobe Flash Player.

The question is, why should you care, what happens to Flash?well, can assume, you were instructed to change from a Web site - most of the site is built with HTML, but some of the most important components are created with Flash. in particular the main navigation in Flash, to provide drop-down menus, just like the gallery page to better animations between images are built to improve.

First of all, it is generally more expensive in Flash.to develop, this is not only because Flash development in General, longer because many developers charge a premium for what as a special service applies.

If you have paid for your expensive website, you should find your site on Google only not indexed your home page is indexed island.all would attractive because the Flash-based menu system, but it may be, is not search engine friendly.

Google is not the only person who does not see your website users to Flash (an iPhone and iPad users, people with disabilities on a screen reader users with very old computers leave) may access must problems on your site and will not access your shiny new Flash based Gallery.

With this cold, hard facts faced, tells most developers in Flash are fast you are specialized in a group simply different content to certain visitors, all the HTML version of the page to see the Flash during each version.the question you get to questions: why would you pay for the development of two versions of a website if a sufficient would have been?

These issues aside, Flash is hopelessly inefficient - soon discover that your new Flash based Gallery slow on most desktop computers.Comparison, would a gallery with jQuery based on most systems, iPhones and iPads, less admirable at the expense of a few bells and whistles.

When all said and done, Flash is not accessible, inefficient, unreliable and expensive to develop and fast old messages., when Flash finally bite, find many site owners even expensive switch from custom Flash solutions standards-compliant HTML solutions.

Save yourself the trouble and build for the future now in HTML.
