Your website can be rather of a mirrored image of who you are...
Ok, you have chosen a domain name and have created a flashy animated website...
Now, keep in mind that your website can be rather of a mirrored image of who you are.
However, my advice is to keep your web site straightforward and do not overdo flash... because it causes your website to load terribly slowly.
Your visitor and future customers will get bored of waiting for your internet site to load, and they are going to move on to your competition!
Look, I am in the solid 3E (ecological, economical and efficient) construction occupation – the European Eco Building business to be exact, with my company Austrocasa International.
My first web site had so much flash, it appeared like eternally before it loaded. You could even hear some good quality music working in the backdrop. This was back in 2005...
I asked friends to test the website before I launched my online marketing campaign and all but one advised that the website was not user friendly. So, I decided to remove flash and music...
After removing the flash and my precious music, the website loaded quicker and, according to net statistics, my visitors stayed on the website longer and I got new clients.
Conclusion
For winning website internet marketing, it is important that you keep your website looking nice, but friendly and simple. What do you think?

Sometimes I find that finding the middle way is always a challenge. I love to have may website analysed and the first time I got a feedback that it did not have quality content, I speeded off and loaded it with just everything and anything from affiliate links, products and articles. Of course I knew about KISS principle and it took a while for me to calm down and re-read the analysis and go back to my page. It was loaded and I decided to remove everything and only put in one or two affiliate

Tweeted, bookmarked, and article link posted at IBO.
As Dr. Phil ( not me ) would say, "people do what works". Advertising is doing what works, not what is convenient personally. Video works. A transcript to accompany it is recommended, though, as I like to do videos but prefer to read transcripts. Go figure :)

Teodor, I agree with you. Don't overload your site.
Most computers nowaday can handle huge data amount. And with a fast internet connection, almost anything can be placed on a site.
But too much informaiton makes your site look messy.
Better place it on several pages and link it to your main page.

Agreed, focus on content and user friendly, the rest comes in time. Dont bother visitors with screaming ads or banners all over the place.

I agree. Simple is better. Most people are online for research to purchase a product or service they like. The compare different options. They want info and they want it NOW. They have no patience to watch your intro flash. People must be able to find out what a site is about in seconds. It makes them stay to find out more. Or leave. What i consider important is a good web header that reflects the core of your business. A good graphic can tell a story in seconds. Secondly visitors must immediate
