The writing was on the wall when Apple said it wasn’t going to support Flash on the iphone or ipad. It is a real shame this has happened from a creative perspective as Flash gives you real control over font and image interaction. It also has that wow factor that other sites just don’t have these days.

We built our first website using Macromedia Flash in 2002 and thought it was great. Unfortunately Flash sites are not great for SEO, even XHTML websites with Flash header images are a stumbling block.

It looks like Adobe are going to concentrate on the mobile market, and let us be honest that is where we all starting to communicate now.

When we saw the news on the BBC website today it wasn’t a surprise, just a shame that it hasn’t been developed to another level for optimization.

R.I.P Flash!
