Web Development 

Flash Development

As bandwidth and CPU capacity increases, new media has become more feasible for the internet and consequently, is quickly becoming a common component of new website design projects.  Creative animation, interactive features and real video greatly expand the opportunity to capture user attention and deliver your message more completely.  However, flash and video components must consider their impact on search engine marketing, content management, site usability, performance, and web analytics information.

Flash design and development have become a common feature within Beacon's recent web development projects.  Although we have developed some "all flash" sites, we recommend combining flash modules and/or video players within a website that is controlled by content management software.

Beacon has developed many websites that successfully integrate highly creative flash components and video players within the Cascade Server CMS, while maintaining search engine rankings and meeting usability guidelines (see our Portfolio).  Our technical team and creative design team worked together to bring it all together without sacrificing the overall business objectives of a company website.
