In addition, they're not very user friendly for those that have older computers or browsers and if your audience isn't very computer savvy, you're cutting out those folks that can't or don't want to install a simple Flash plugin to view your website. Most people just want to be able to look at what you have to offer on your website and not jump through a lot of hoops. Flash websites are great for the entertainment websites like for movies and entertainers because you expect to see some whiz bang in that industry. But for art customers a lot of them appear to want something more straight forward.

You are on the site ou know my name and then I invite you to a flash library. Other wise it seems stilted and uneventful, and very time consuming like podcast and videos.
