- Flash ways to avoid Flash (TM)
- We sometimes get a design brief that says 'homepage must have Flash' on it. 'Why?' we ask, pointing out that Flash is a proprietary technology that is excluding an increasing percentage of the browsing public, including all users of iPhones and iPads. If all you want is some animated text, it's time to explore the more accessible alternatives.
