User Engagement Is What Makes Flash Website Design So Popular

Hi,
Quite a number of people are crazy over Flash website design. Website visitors' love going through Flash animation as it has a certain irresistible appeal to it. The question is; what makes this design such a big hit?

The answer lies in 'user engagement'.

Let's take the example of a 'movie'. Don't you love it when a movie keeps you engaged through the duration of its running time? Now, use the same brand of thinking for Flash. When a website visitor lands on a particular website he/she is usually expecting a run-of-the-mill website design that has a cluster of relevant images mixed together with content. But, think of their reaction when instead of this, they are greeted with Flash animation. They are going to be impressed and that too by a long way.

Flash is Impactful

With its visual impact, Flash creates the ideal impression on the minds of the website visitors. The fact that they are impressed enough to stay on the website and go through the Flash on the website means it has done its job. Most of these users, who are impressed by the Flash website design, would love to go through the website and the information that it offers. So, essentially it's double benefit for the website; and all this is a courtesy of user engagement.

Flash is interesting

Nobody likes a boring website. Even if the information given on the website is the most boring on the planet, it still can be made interesting through the use of Flash. By infusing the interest quotient in the website through Flash, you will be engaging the website visitor to interact with the website. He/she will be tempted to spend more time on the site, which is what every website owner wants. Experts believe that the more time that a website visitors spends on a site, the better the website's chances of converting these visitors. Again all this is because the website is engaging the visitor.

There is no doubt that it's the quality of visitor engagement that Flash brings to the website that makes it so popular. But, this doesn't mean that one should use Flash in all websites. There are certain websites' whose designs don't warrant the use of this software. There are better served with simple design that deliver their message in the most complete and satisfactory manner possible. So, even though Flash is popular, it will be a good idea to use it in moderation and by exercising due care and forethought.
