Yes I’m pissed! I recently noticed that webdesigner tend to FILL the webpages with all the possible sort of flash intro, gif/png animations, huge buttons and so on. I don’t say this only because having a ISDN connection I have very long pages loading time, but also because is useless. If you check my sites, I do all in plain HTML, and I don’t think that I’m losing any customer for that. Actually I’m saving bandiwth, and I’m more likely to get a sale from a person who has a dialup connection (and are much more than what you could think about).
I saw many cool sites made in flash, and I’m quite capable of doing one (I was webdesigner for 2 years before starting my indie career) but I think they’re useless. If you’re making a flash/web game then ok, but if you just want to display a catalogue of games, why put all those useless and heavy flash stuff?
