If a site is designed entirely in Flash or the text and navigation is only in Flash then the search engines will not be able to index the site. Depending on your target audience search engine positioning may or may not be important to you. If it is, it will be necessary to ensure that the site’s text and links are indexable or that appropriate workarounds are put in place – such as a second html site or html information pages. If you have identified search engine marketing as being important to your online presence our Flash web designers and search engine consultants will work closely together to ensure that you get a professionally designed, engaging website that will be able to achieve high search engine rankings. Flash can still be an important and visually appealing part of your site, but by ensuring that the elements important to the engines are in a format they can index you get the best of both worlds.
