Well considering that Hatter said that my site looked like "old Arse"
I would suggest that he would not be able to grasp the fact that his
sites need to actually be umm used by real people, mind you they seam
to have bugger-all content anyway and god knows why people would waste
good money on sites that look like that (art sites being the exception
to that rule obviously. If flash is such a great tool then why the
hell did most Universities stop useing it to design their sites with
years a go. Or comercial sites for that matter I mean most comercial
sites useing it use a combonation of HTML and CSS, why cause they work
and provide a much better user experience then Flash. http://webpagesthatsuck.com
have some very good examples of why Flash is not good for an entire
site (with the exception being those sites I have already mentioned.
