Hello Joe
I must say you have been advised correctly. Well-designed Flash web site templates have the necessary elements to grab the attention of the visitors and make them explore your site further. And adding some audio track to the animated graphics will add volumes to your site’s appeal. In fact, the biggest advantage with flash is that it makes difficult concepts look easy. Tutorials, training courses, introductions, film clips, you name it, flash makes them several times more interesting..
Although there are plenty of flash template providers on the net, I personally would recommend
Saffron Multimedia. They have some truly unique templates – marvelous designs as well as efficient functionality and user-friendliness. Check them out.
