Why is Flash so bad?

Monday, May 1st, 2006 at 8:44 pm

Hello - welcome to my website.

On my blog I write about marketing, public relations and digital communications. To keep up-to-date with my posts you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign-up to receive blog posts by email.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find my site useful.

Found a good summary of why building your site mostly or all in Flash is a bad idea: courtesy of Pigsaw.

Yet still mistakes are made by big businesses that should know better. Most recently River Island:

and many more…

Simon Wakeman

I've been on the web since 2001 and have been blogging about marketing and public relations since January 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.

I highly recommend Simon. He is an experienced marketing manager with excellent digital channel skills. He thinks strategically, is exceptionally reliable - always delivering on time and with good quality - and is also a good team player…It was great to have him on the team at Egg. Wendy Schratz, Egg

Fantastic talk by Simon Wakeman on the use of social media in UK local authories. Tom Murphy, Head of Public Relations & CSR at Microsoft Ireland
