Flash & 3D Graphics

Flash sometimes gets a bad wrap from web developers. OK, we've even said a few unkind words about it too.

While it's an effective way to add "flashy" cool motion, video, or sound to a web page, Back40 does not recommended building an entire site in Flash for many reasons.

• Text in Flash files is not effectively parsed by search engines as well as an HTML website, causing your SEO to suffer needlessly.
• Flash sites are difficult to edit. Most businesses have to rely on a web developer instead of an easy "do it yourself" content management system.
• Updating Flash-based websites is costly to the client because its costly to the developer, period. This makes your initial cost and continuing cost spiral out of control.

All Flash bashing aside, it's very popular with clients - because its cool. So we've built specific Flash-enabled modules inside our Javelin CMS so that you can have the best of both worlds. Easily place your photos in the Flash module and watch your page cycle through images to highlight a recipe of the month, or display rotating banner ads.

For clients that request 3-D modeling and complex Flash animations to illustrate a concept or product, we partner with a specialized network of professionals to offer you a full service experience, start to finish. We've got you covered.
