Good Site http://imakemycase.case-mate.com/
For our task last week we were asked to find examples of good and bad flash sites and present them in front of the class this week. I found a good example of a flash website on the fwa website this is a website for creating your own design for your mobile phone cover I like this site because there's so much going on for the user. It all starts when you launch the site the user can move the pointer around the screen and shapes and drawings appear where you move the cursor. So immediately you want to explore this site because its crabbed your attention. You then click on the Design Your Case text and this takes you to the menu screen with a selection of mobile phone covers for you to browse through. At the top of the page is the navigation with buttons for Artists, My Designs, Cart and Cases each page draws the user in. This site would not be as interesting to view if it wasn't in flash so that is why I think it's a good example.
Bad Site http://www.lingcars.com
In my opinion this site could have done without flash instead the designer or so called designer as used so much flash on the site it looks tacky. There's icons flashing up all over the place and the navigation bar at the top is different sizes. It is just awful the target audience for this site is supposed to be aimed at people who want to hire cars but frankly I wouldn't hire a car from them after looking at the site. They have gone over the top with the use of flash and colour scheme is bad to. This site needed more html in it than flash because the layout is all over the place there are no text containers which means it just all looks bad on screen. The less said about this site the better because whoever built this site doesn't have any web design skills.
