Web Site Design
A web site is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. Designing a web site is defined as the arrangement and creation of web pages that in turn make up a web site.

For non-commercial web sites, the goals may vary depending on the ...
Flash
Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a proprietary, robust graphics animation or application development program used to create and deliver dynamic content, media (such as sound and video), and interactive applications over the web via the browser.

As a result, the designers and SEOs often end up in disputes where ...
