The Internet is used for research, so include all relevant, interesting information about your company.


What is the difference between HTML and Flash? which one is one better?

HTML and Flash are both used to build websites. They are both used for web development but there are some distinct differences.

HTML
A code to place and organize text, pictures and even Flash onto a web page. HTML is very efficient at displaying and organizing web pages and keeping the file size of the web page to a minimum.

FLASH
Flash is a multimedia tool commonly used create animation's and web pages for the web. Flash is not as efficient at creating web pages as HTML and its file size is generally larger resulting in a longer/slow load time for web pages, so rather then making the whole web site in FLASH you should go for the FLASH intro page to attract your customers or you may put small flash animation's on your web pages.
