Multimedia
As a company we've been using Flash from the early days, when it was not much more than an animation tool. It feels like we grew up with it. We liked it then because it gave us the opportunity to do the more interactive and immersive environments that we wanted the web to become.
Now Flash has grown into a whole application development environment, but we still like it for the same reasons - it's the only way to go if you really want to make exciting multimedia content and reliably deliver it to the widest possible audience.
A major focus of our Flash development is to help us and our clients deliver video. We've developed a range of multimedia widgets that work with our content management system to make it easy for users to publish video, audio and imagery to the web. For more details please see here.
But we also use Flash for e-learning, webinars, viral advertising, online games and even for the front end of our content management system. It's an incredibly powerful tool - but as is often the way with such things - it's using it in subtler more discreet ways that are sometimes the most effective.
One word of caution - we do not see Flash is not a panacea, it's not without its issues, beware of the developer who tells you it is the best for everything - it's not.
But Flash, usually in conjunction with some HTML for text and CSS for layout, is capable of producing great looking content - as this website hopefully testifies.
