I was really pushing for accessibility with the design and build of my sites, and Flash just didn’t quite sit right with me and what I was aiming to achieve, so I near enough dropped it completely from my designs.

There are so many nice lightweight Javascript frameworks now a days, mootools, jquery, scriptaculous to name a few, that allow us to do so many nice effects that once were only possible with Flash. Fading buttons, gallerys, slides and so on can now all be achieved by a much more accessible route.

Now I know Flash has been pushing for accessibility, but it can never really give you the content benefits that a Javascript or plain XHTML/HTML built site can. This only leads to adding noscript tags and making your website code all messy.

One thing Flash can give you is a damn good looking website! But I have to say, this can only been achieved by some extremely talented designers.

I have gathered together a few websites below which I have found and bookmarked over the recent months which really made me go WOW!.

So why not give them a tickle and see what you think! But remember to download Flash Player!
