50+ Beautiful Flash Websites for Your Inspiration
Flash websites can be amazing, but they can also be awful. Like any powerful and versatile technology, Flash can be overused and misused. The advent of HTML5 as competition for Flash will probably be just as overused and misused once it is in place.
As someone who is not a developer, I don’t foresee HTML5 making Flash redundant. To me, that is like saying the music system could make the TV set redundant. I think they will sit nicely together, each with their own place and function, but possibly also work side by side. However, I reiterate that I am not a developer.
In these days of high technology, it is unusual for a new technology to completely override existing technology. If developers continue to stay on top of the game, there is no reason why there can’t be room for more technologies to join forces with existing ones.
This collection of Flash websites is designed to illustrate the huge job that HTML5 developers have if they really think they can outdo Flash completely. These are examples of Flash used as it should be, showcasing the beauty of using Flash and how to effectively build a website using Flash.
