Is this the fashion site you're talking about?
I guess you're right, Flash is good at those cross-browser full scale image functions. Autokern init motherfuckers.

The proper thing to do if Flash is even an option is to design an alternate version that will run on mobile / ipad / non plugin supported systems. Cover all your bases, and no user is left in the dust.

I think you think he's saying to build a flash site for sites with regular visitors when he's saying the reverse.

"unless you're building a site where users will be returning a daily, weekly, or bi weekly basis than you probably SHOULD consider a non flash site."
With the ability to construct sentences like that you should be working in law not design. So if I AM building a site where people are returning daily I would be better off building it in Flash?
Yeah, I'm sure CNN, Google, Yahoo and Facebook will be redesigning their sites in Flash any day now.
- huh? usually it's the opposite... flash sites get seen once or twice, then ignored....vaxorcist

Every meeting I've had this year, the client has said they'd prefer not to use Flash.

@must_dash: we don't really know what the demographics for the ipad is but I'm buying one for my grandmother so that throws 'young and fashionable' out the window.
I think the point is unless you're building a site where users will be returning a daily, weekly, or bi weekly basis than you probably SHOULD consider a non flash site.
I would presume ipad users will have a second computer. If your site is to intended to be accessible on the internet than flash is still a worthy conisderation.- Your gran may not want to see some flashy flash site eithermust_dash

Nice post on mac rumours...
What drives the Internet? Advertising.
What technology does advertising currently use? Flash.
Who's going to buy iPads? Young, affluent, fashionable, extrovert people.
Who's going to buy netbooks? Nerdy introverts.
Which of these audiences do the advertisers want to reach? The iPad users.
So what are advertisers going to do? Shouldn't be too difficult to work out.
As usual, follow the money.

Flash is entrenched and has legitimate uses therefore isn't going away. End of thread.
