Efficient

• One advantage of using Adobe Flash for your website is that it allows you to create efficient multimedia content. The files that you create with Flash are relatively small when compared with other technologies. This means that when a visitor comes to your website, the page with the multimedia content on it will load more quickly. If you use other technologies with larger file sizes, the pages may open up more slowly, which leads to frustration.
  
  

Easy to Work With

• Another advantage of using Flash is that it is relatively easy to work with. You do not have to learn special development skills or have a higher-than-average aptitude for development to work with it. If you have trouble, the Flash developer community is packed with individuals who may be willing to help you out. This allows you to get answers easily to the questions you may have about how Flash operates when you are working with it on your website.
  
  

Requires Plugin

• One drawback of using Flash for your website is that visitors will need a plugin to view it. Before Flash can be viewed on a browser, the user must download an Adobe Flash plugin. If the plugin is not downloaded for the browser, the visitor will simply see a blank space on the page where the Flash content is supposed to be. This may be inconvenient for the visitor since it requires extra software to be able to view your content.
  
  

Mobile Problems

• Another issue with using Flash content for your website is that it is not widely available on mobile browsers. For example, the iPhone, iPod and iPad are not compatible with Flash through the Safari browser. Other mobile phones do not have the capability of allowing users to see Flash content. Since the number of people who are using the Internet on their phones is increasing, this could cause you to miss out on a large number of visitors.
