So you think your site could use a little movement. It's just a little too static. "Computers," you think, "are interactive, my site should be too!” After all, this isn't a still life painting. Viewers are encouraged to reach out and touch anything they can click their mouse on. Maybe they'll find something they didn't expect. Maybe that unexpected, or perhaps expected, change will thrill and excite them. It may not, but it will certainly draw their attention. So, how might you present this immersive experience to a visitor of your site? Why, Adobe Flash of course!
Omnitech utilizes Flash to create anything from a simple photo slideshow to fully interactive sites. We have the expertise needed to provide flash implementation that is both engaging and intuitive. Want to put a movie on your site? Flash is the tool to use. "Why not use Windows Media Player or Quicktime?," you might ask. Sure, those players present excellent quality video over the web but they often require a first-time user to download a plugin to view the video. On the other hand, the appropriate Flash plugin comes prepackaged with all current browsers; so you won't have to worry about downloading an application, just the occasional update. You don't want to keep your often impatient visitors waiting (or going somewhere else) because the plugin they need is still downloading.
Adobe Flash keeps things interesting with animation and interactivity. Can too much movement overwhelm the viewer and distract from informational content being provided? It can, and that is why Omnitech ensures that Flash components we implement will enhance the users’ experience and guides their attention to the information you want to communicate.
Due to the enthusiastic responses Flash receives, it was only a matter of time until other companies started throwing their hats in the ring. Microsoft recently announced the launch of their own cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in known as Silverlight. Microsoft Silverlight brings .NET-based interactive applications to the next generation of web viewers in much the same way Flash does. Please feel free to visit again as we will be getting more in depth regarding Microsoft Silverlight, its capabilities, and how Omnitech can make the right technology work for you.
