    Well, I do have a bias towards flash. I find that it is consistant, much more so than anything html, it loads quickly, you can control everything in one file (no lnks to jpegs that can be lost), etc. I also like to be able to move buttons around without consequence.

    I don't want to get into a debate about the merits of either, because they both have their strengths, but for small sites like this, that will be visually driven, flash is the best choice (for me, anyway).

    The real deciding factors are:

    1. Video - there will be 3 interactive animations that are controlled by a floor plan. Click on a room, and it will play that video. It would simply be a mess to do with html.
    2. My client only wants one plugin, so that eliminates QT, which I am in favor of. I like the possibilities of flash video, and feel it will be a large part of my future (3D/architectural visualization).

    This won't be a site that is trying to attract every single person over 50, just ones that are looking to buy a 2200 sq ft condo in that specific location.

    Oh, and my knowledge of dthml is so limited to make it a non issue (I've taken classes, but from what I see the compatibility issues make it useless, unless you have a huuuge site and want better navigation, or something). Everything flash will work or it won't, there aren't every any weird things that happen.
