I'd stear clear of flash just as I would frames, but that's just my opinion. CSS (cascading style sheets) are a ton easier and accomplish the same thing (and more).

Sweet graphics though...are they originals?



I'm more of an old school hand-coder myself. Flash and CSS have only been supported for the last several years, but frames have been around since the early-90's. If you're thinking in terms of business, try to think in terms of your target audience's capabilities in addition to the content and design implementation details.

There are still very simple things that I do in CSS that just simply break on pre 5.0 versions of IE and Netscape, and we won't even mention the 3.0 browsers (though IE 3.0 did have some partial support, as I remember using basic stylesheets back on Win 95).

When it comes to CSS, flash, and DHTML, I try to integrate them all into my sites in small doses, and only when their functionality would make some impossible or more greusomely difficult HTML task more easily accomplishable or even possible to begin with. CSS is wonderful, but it's not yet a standard Flash is wonderful, but you limit your target audience (especially with download times).

Frames are wonderful, too, but there a thousand reasons not to use them and a thousand ways to get around using them. There are very few professional sites nowadays I design that use frames, and if they do use frames they tend to be inline frames (iframes) and even then only for reasons of UI.

Good design on that page. Good luck!
