Flash Development
Everyone could use a little bling!
Flash can bring some fun to even the most serious of websites. Flash is not right in every situation or for every website but, when used correctly, there is no substitute to the sophisticated, interactive look and feel that it can bring. Flash technology allows you to use sound and motion to capture the attention of your audience and deliver impactful content.
Flash multimedia is a very powerful and flexible medium. Video integration using Flash can further increase the visual impact of your site while keeping download times to a minimum. Visual impact in tandem with effective functionality is what can set your site apart from the competition.
There are many benefits to using Flash, but when executed poorly, a site can end up becoming an expensive showcase of modern art, rather than an effective business tool. DBS>Interactive employs our business-focus when using Flash technology, allowing us to create functionality that will transform your site into an accelerated business tool.
Flash Elements on the Web
You can add Flash elements to your HTML website. These elements can be used to add motion, sound, animation or unique navigation to your website pages, and create an element of excitement that isn't available with static text and imagery. A well-crafted Flash presentation can significantly increase the impact of your site without adding unnecessary download speeds.
When adding Flash elements to your site, it is important to establish a plan for the limited number of users who do not have Flash capabilities on their computers. The Flash designers at DBS>Interactive are experts at building pages that make a visit to your website pleasant for all of your visitors.
Flash and Streaming Video
High-speed internet connectivity makes it possible to include video segments on your website without creating an unacceptable download requirement. There are a number of formats and methods currently used to add video to websites, but few are as effective as integrating video within a Flash presentation. By importing video into a Flash presentation, you can decrease download time while presenting the video in a format that is used extensively worldwide, ensuring that the majority of your visitors will not have to download additional programs to view your video segment.
Flash also allows for the addition of text and graphics to your video segment allowing you to reinforce important messages by summarizing them with text that overlays a section of the video as it plays, or add a logo or other graphic elements to your video without the expense of re-mastering the entire video segment. The possibilities are almost endless!
Flash Animations
A combination of photographic images, video, sound, text and graphics can be included in your Flash presentation. Motion can be added to graphic illustrations, creating animations that explain production processes, provide graphical diagrams for complex processes, provide imagery for elements that can't be easily photographed or add a touch of whimsy with animated character illustrations. For clients who require more realistic graphic representations, our design team has extensive experience with 3D modeling, which can be imported into Flash to work with other elements.
Flash for Multimedia CD Presentations
The use of Flash presentations can be an asset in more ways than just increasing the impact of your website. The addition of motion, sound, video and animation can generate excitement in any visual presentation. Flash can be used to produce a highly successful interactive production increasing the retention of your audience. DBS>Interactive can even produce a digital business card that will make a real impression on your customers!

DBS>Interactive has a business-driven approach separating us from other web design companies. We realize that a website is a critical business tool, and no matter how good it looks there is not a one size fits all solution.
