Flash Websites, HTML Websites and Wix Sites

Stepping into the great Flash vs HTML debate

For years there has been a dispute in the web design world between Flash advocates and HTML supporters. These days, however, the dispute is slowly coming to an end, as Flash now offers both its unique capabilities and new HTML features.

HTML has been the traditional website format since the 1980’s. Flash websites, on the other hand, use a new technology and create dynamic and smooth web experiences. Many of the biggest companies have been switching their websites to Flash websites, and Flash is becoming a website building standard.

Reasons:

Dynamic Memorable Visual Experiences: Flash is more sophisticated than HTML, Flash websites provide an incredible visual experience, and allow you to create a dynamic and memorable website for your users.

Greater Freedom: Flash provides you with a level of freedom that is not found elsewhere. For instance, you can place objects anywhere you want without having to deal with tables and all sorts of coding nightmares… yuck!

Greater Interactivity: You can create an interactive Flash website: rollovers, color and image changes, incorporating mp3 and wav files, movies, background music and tons more. Perhaps all these features together are too much for you. No problem – just don’t add them. But unlike HTML, at least its easy .

Videos and animation: Incorporating animations and videos is much easier in a Flash website, and they tend to look a lot better than with basic HTML elements.

Wix's Free Flash websites have even more to offer:

Search Engine Friendly: During the dark ages, one big Flash challenge was the difficulty in getting search engines like google to index it. Wix has taken care of that, so now you can build your website with Wix and rest assured that your site is being read and crawled by search engines & by your visitors.

Easy to Update:Inserting modifications into a Flash website used to be difficult. With Wix, those days are over. With Wix, modifying your free website is as easy as editing a document on your computer. All you need to do is login to “My Account”, find your published Wix websites and edit them any which way you like. Don't forget to hit save and your changes will automatically be updated on your Wix website. Simple.

If you want to make a free website, using the Wix editor is a very good way to go. With its highly professional and user-friendly features, you’ll be able to create a dynamic and rich web design that is both easy to update and search engine friendly. How lucky can one be?
