I’ve hired a company to provide website design and development for my business and the company has provided a great looking website, but it is not functional for the needs of my typical user. If you know anything about Flash, you know it makes the graphics look awesome, but can drastic limit functionality and user-friendliness. Only in final hour of the project, we found out that in Flash, one cannot print or bookmark a page, you cannot use hyperlinks in the site, the back button does not work, you cannot enlarge/reduce the size of the text, if you have a mouse wheel it will not work, not to mention that is extremely hard for a flash site (that updates regularly) to be found in google and yahoo searches because all text is usually embedded in the graphics. It is also too advanced of a software to expect conservative clients to have plug-ins for.
Anybody have any advice for me to resolve the issue?
As of last week, the company said that they don't care that the site doesn't work. Please help!
