We have many great reasons for it, and here is why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The trends in web standards is going towards the direction of eliminating Flash\u2122\u00a0as a mainstream web design element. This is because Flash\u2122\u00a0is <strong>not a web-standard language like HTML or CSS &#8211; it&#8217;s a 3rd party plug-in<\/strong>. The World Wide Web is moving towards the direction of not relying on plug-ins &#8211; browsers by themselves are fully capable of the things we need.<\/li>\n<li>This is why the innovators at <strong>Apple decided to stop supporting Flash on their mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) several years ago<\/strong>. Our websites are <strong>fully compatible with these mobile devices<\/strong> without restriction.<\/li>\n<li>Flash\u2122\u00a0content is <strong>not readable by robots from Google<\/strong> or other search engines, reducing your SEO performance. To alleviate this, designers often use raw HTML layers behind the Flash\u2122 piece; but this is <strong>more time consuming and expensive.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flash-free <strong>websites load faster<\/strong>. We have the modern technology on pure HTML and Javascript that enables us to <strong>create the smooth animations and interactive user interface features without relying on Flash\u00ae<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why we no longer offer Flash\u2122 Animation services<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[24,46,1],"tags":[42,36,43,38,44,45],"class_list":["post-3307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-features","category-seo","category-uncategorized","tag-adobe","tag-css","tag-flash","tag-html","tag-javascript","tag-jquery"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3307\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brixwork.com\/realtors\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
