5. Your website is Flash based
- As a best practice your main business website should not be completely in Flash. Now, this does not mean you have to swear off using any Flash within your site. Having Flash modules to add interactivity to your site is perfectly appropriate if you want to simulate how a certain product functions or a process. A couple issues with having an entirely Flash website are:
- Search engines view an all Flash site as one file, meaning there is not the same opportunity to optimize different pages for different keywords, titles and descriptions.
- Flash files, particularly those using sound effects, embedded movies or bitmap images, may take some time to load. How fast it takes your website to load is a factor in how Google will ranks your page.
