Flash website

[ianstaunton]

Hi, could anyone tell me roughly how much a flash based website would cost? I know a lot depends on what the content of the site is but say it had some animations, a music player, a photo gallery and maybe a video player? Just a rough estimate please. Thanks guys.

You really don't want a flash-based website. Small amounts of it, sure, but totally flash is terrible.

1) not everyone has flash installed.
2) some people disable it, as it's used for adverts.
3) it's totally inaccessible.
4) other useful components of visitors' browsers rely on HTML-based sites.

I agree entirely with fo3nix.
If you set up a flash based web site, then you really need to duplicate the entire site in html as an alternative for those of us (probably the vast majority) who, whilst happy to view flash content when it's pertinent, will simply turn away from a site produced entirely in flash.
