Your New Website - You Want Flashy, But It Is It Practical?

Everyone wants their website to stand out, but is Flash the way to go.  In this day and age of smartphones and I Pads, does it make sense to lose part of your audience by using Flash?

I wasn't a huge fan of the I Pad, I just couldn't see the need for it.  I have my laptop, I have my smartphone...I'm mobile, what more could a girl need??  Then, last year, my husband had to go out and buy me one, my first thought, "I don't need this" then we set it up.....I was done for.  How did I live without it?  I just wasn't mobile enough apparently.  I use it from the time I get up til the time I go to bed.  I'm addicted.  It's so bad in our house...we need two!

So they're good right?  Right, but.........they aren't playing so nice with Adobe or vice versa (depending on who you talk to)...the bottom line no Flash, no PDFs......it's not so bad, unless you run into somebody that wanted a Flashy, Sparkly website and did their whole site in Flash.  You lost me, I can't see it and I've moved on to maybe your competition.

Your best bet is to stay away from Flash, get a great design and keep your load times low.  People are coming to your site for more information, maybe to buy your products, keep it simple and give them what they want.  Don't lose them because your not keeping up with the times.

Positive Thinking

I've started setting goals in an effort to clean up some stuff I keep putting on the back burner, I'm sure I'm not the only one out there....and it's helping!  Watch for MoxDog's 1st Newsletter, "Bad to the Bone", and I mean "bad" in a good way.  It will have website tips, specials and even answer your questions.  Have a question?  Email me.


So keeping on the goal theme, I'm also thinking positively.  So I'm not going to give you a lot of website tips on what NOT to do on your website, let's focus on things that work.

DO......bring everything together on your website.  You have a Facebook page, add a like box or stream to your website. Your tweeting, let people know about it.  Your the one with more to say, sign up for a blog and put an icon on your site.  Your doing that already?  Make sure your promoting your website on all your accounts.  Feed people back to your website. 

Are you one of the hold outs...think this whole web thing is a fad?  First, don't tell anyone you think that and Second, get a website, it's a good place to start.

Watch for more DOs next week!
So you think you're doing OK with this whole social media thing. Make sure your not making the same mistakes other companies are making. http://ow.ly/5U3ZC
