Food and Drink Websites Using Flash
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 in Inspirational Flash SitesDon’t you agree that you never can have too many good examples of beautiful Flash sites? We bet it is so, and that’s why we’re now sharing awesome food and drink websites that are shining examples of using Flash.
To us, a well done food website is a website that is easy to navigate, a website that represents food business in a polished and professional manner. For instance, if it’s a restaurant website, then it should include basic information about the restaurant (its location, hours of operation, menu, prices, etc); if it’s a coffee website it should have its own flavor which means its design should not remind any other website offering coffee products. And another important thing is that an outstanding website will benefit if you build it in Flash.
So, here is a list of 16 Flash sites from which we hope web masters and web designers will learn how much Flash adds to food and drink websites. Of course, this list is also a perfect source of inspiration.

Friday, August 12, 2011 in Inspirational Flash SitesWe’re never tired to share inspirational Flash sites with you, but this time we will be featuring Flash web shops only. Feel free to scroll down and look through some cool Flash animated sites that are selling various goods including clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.
We hope you’ll enjoy this collection because there are not so many online stores that are built with Flash, actually. Why is it so, you may ask. The answer is that some designers and developers still don’t know that Flash can be SEO friendly and Flash sites can load fast.

Luckily, Flash technology has changed through years and now we can forget about these fears. So, here is a list of
Flash online stores which prove that Flash may be good for web shops.
