    Glad it helped.

    Man I love your work !

    I need to start doing more Photoshop to Html sites…

    I work with Flash pretty much.

  4. mlwebco Says:

    Hey, you can always do both. More of an arsenal in your bag of tricks. I always stuck with the HTML stuff because flash was too hard. There’s always a need for flash experts though.

  5. djmixmind Says:

    Yeah you are right, but sometimes I feel like I started backwards cause all my design friends went from Photoshop to Dreamweaver. I started Flash then everything else.

    I feel left out :)

    But all your videos have been helping!!!

    Thanks!

    I get the feeling I someone influenced this video to the top of the pile LOL! I have been looking over the sites and was thinking before re-designing sitting down with paper and writing what I like front the sites, and “attempt” to picture it in my head. Then stress about how I’m going to do it afterwards.

    You mention flash based, I was wonder how does SEO/Flash interact? Like, can search engines crawl the flash content, if not how do flash based sites manage SEO?

  7. mlwebco Says:

    Flash sites can still rank well if they have enough inbound links coming into the site. Also, some flash sites can have HTML pages built into them that the SE’s pick up.

    Oh ok, gives me something else to think about then. I’m currently looking over the 1 page sites you gave me and writing down what I like from some and notes to go on. If I can figure out some Javascript I got a couple ideas wrote down towards a one page design.

    Example, if you look at #22 in the list, the way he has his navigation where it slides open to display the content on the same page. I like that idea. ^_^.

    Also take a look at this site… wix . com they allow you to create free flash sites.

    Seems like i’ve heard that before. On those site builder places, maybe it’s just me but seems wrong to use them to build a web site using them for a web design business. If I can’t build myself a site, how am I supposed to do it for others? Just seems wrong somehow lol.
