RE: FLASH: So what makes great design in Flash ?

[Connie Schachel]

Help me out here folks. Who are your clients? I don't know about you, but I

have to worry about using mouse overs on the sites we do because the bank

president whose signature is going to be on the check that pays my bill uses

AOL at home and the damn things won't work with his browser!


I've had to personally go into my client's offices and change their computer

resolution from 256 colors to 16 or 32 bit color when they've complained

about how awful the picture (that they've supplied) of their business looks

on their web pages.


There is a lot of space between LA and New York filled with a lot of

businesses who will happily pay for a web site, but most of then are not

Disney. You can build the most awesome, exciting, loud site in the world,

but if it doesn't have a message... it doesn't work!


The derbauer.de site is interesting, I guess. It makes lots of noise, but

what exactly is the purpose? At least I know what the lasgaskets.com site is

selling. Gaskets.
