If a client came to me and asked me asking for advice whether to go for a flash website or HTML coded, I would obviously state the most common uses for flash websites, and ask the client if that is something they would feel happy with and usefull for them, if not then i would recomend from a group of carefully chosen other designers to assist them with there CSS HTML websites.
You may say, HTML has far more benefits than flash, but could that be because your technical ability in flash, isnt well practiced? Im happy to admit that i dont have a great technical ability in HTML, but im fully aware of how usefull it is in this market. I Completly agree HTML should be used for a large majority of websites. But i wouldnt tell my cleint not to use flash, just because i didnt know how....
In this world today, there is a huge varity of people all wanting difrent and specific things, people who have learnt difrent and specific things. But just because you and i are from difrent aspects of web development, shouldnt mean you have the right to tell me what im doing isnt the "best" or "correct" way to do something.
(lightbox's are very over used - Usually by graphics designers(Not web designers), who need a nice lil portfolio site that they can design and build themselves, Web designers, should usually find there own method out of the many thousands to display an image....What ever happend to creativity?)
I came asking for critism for my website as a whole. it is a website, and it would be recognised as a website. CSS and javascript are also used to make websites. In this case it wasnt....I applogise. but you must understand, there is a HUGE market for Flash websites, Flash development, Flash animations, Flash actionscripting. All of which my portfolio demonstrates, and i push myself to get work in those areas....
IF i was using a CSS website.....then what would be the point in claiming to be a flash animation/developer/actionscripter?
