I’ve been a website developer for almost 7 years now and ever since I started, I always heard the saying, “Do not make flash websites. They’re slow to load, not Search Engine Friendly, and not all people have flash.” But then, times and things change and ever since I heard that, lots and lots of websites have been made using flash such as this Interactive Agency website called MindComet. Here are my comments about this site:

Positive

1. The overall design is good
2. The flash effects are nice
3. It was pretty fast to load
4. The site itself is Search engine friendly since it has Search engine readable text on it.

Negative

1. I love to listen to music while in front of my computer and the sudden “talking” background of the site kind of irritated me because I could no longer hear my music well
2. The loading of the audio was kind of choppy on my 384kbps connection. I wonder how it would sound on dial-up.
3. I couldn’t find a volume slidebar on the website which means I couldn’t turn of its sound or at least lessen its volume. Turning off the volume of my speaker won’t work for me since that would also turn off my music.

So, what do I think? I think this website is pretty good and needs just a few tweaks and it would be great.
