Welcome again to Office Hours, where you can pick our brains on topics ranging from web development, SEO, social media, and more!
Let’s admit it, Flash is actually kind of cool. It gives us the capabilities to make animated videos, games, and adds interactive elements to websites. Sounds like a great way to capture your website visitor’s attention, but there is one BIG problem. Flash videos don’t contain any text information and can’t be indexed by search engine bots. This fundamental design flaw has many small business owners asking:
“Is Flash Dead?”
In order to finally put this question to rest, Mike discusses how you should, and should not use Flash for your business’ rich media content.
