Website Design

The more I design websites the more they are becoming one of my favorite things. I have been learning a lot the more I design and it is all so interesting to me. I am currently working on trying to design a Flash website just so I can learn it. Since most of the websites I have designed are html-based, this is a new area for me.

I have never been a big fan of Flash websites. Yeah, they look crisp and clean but there are so many things you cannot do with them that are “normal” actions on an html site (like hit the back button). But because a lot of people are turning to them now I think it is something I should delve into.

I am quite familiar with Flash and have done Flash work for trade shows, dvds and even parts of websites, but I have never created a whole site in Flash. This will be a challenge that I know in the end will be well worth all the extra time and work it takes on my end.

Challenges are a lot of the fun in doing graphic design work. Things are always changing and you are constantly trying to learn new things which keeps it interesting. It’s almost like being in school again, except there is no one looking over your shoulder, telling you it’s not right, because it may not have been the way they would have done it.

Gotta love the “real” world!
