Online Marketing

The Smart Monkey design team is highly experienced when it comes to Flash animation. We have worked on various flash animation projects from animated banner adverts to full flash websites.

However, our advice when it comes to Flash is to approach with caution.

Flash is great when used carefully and for the right reasons. However, used incorrectly and it can seriously damage the relationship you build with your prospect or customer.

Flash on websites not only means you run the risk of driving the visitor mad waiting for your fancy intro to finish, but it can also be a detriment to your site by distracting the visitor from looking at the information you want them to look at.

Here at Smart Monkey, we can build Flash animation into our clients' websites, but we do so with care and approach each project individually.

For the majority of websites, Flash animation on user input is advisable, which means that the flash only operates when the user rolls their mouse over the area in question. For an example of user activated flash, roll over the four main services we provide on our homepage.

Sometimes a flash website can be appropriate. One of our client's, DJ's and producers - Z-Listers, operate within the music industry where Flash is more the norm and so a carefully constructed flash website was developed.

Smart Monkey also design and develop animated banner adverts in line with our clients' online advertising requirements and we can develop flash animated games for viral campaigns or to aid your client conversion and retention.
