Where Form Meets Function: Functional and Artistic Websites - Page 3

If you want a cool site with a lot of movement, you may be considering a flash site. That may not be the best choice, though. Flash is invisible to search engines and is usually difficult and expensive to update. If you want movement on your site, include a small flash piece in your site design, but do not go that route for the whole site.

Many artists might read this post and feel like I am trying to fit their websites into little boxes where everything looks the same. That is not the case at all, in fact I am proposing a problem to artists out there, and we all know artists are good problem solvers. Find a way to make your site interesting, unique, and artistic while still using the basic elements proposed above. This may sound like a daunting task, but it is completely doable and, in the end, will be worth the effort.
