LF: Website Developer for Photography Business

[mobius]

Can anyone here recommend a quality website developer for a Flash based website? It would be for an established photography business. She likes to do things old school (proofs on paper, in person), but times and competition demand a jump into cyberspace as well.

why flash? flash does not work on apple products (iphone, ipad, etc) and a lot of people have apple products...

I'm just helping out my Fiance's friend with finding a developer, and the information I was given is that she wants the fluid/seamless/artistic feel you see in some photographer portfolios, usually associated with flash. Or at least as far has either of us know. I personally didn't know that apple products don't support flash, the only apple product I've ever purchased was an Ipod Nano.

That is good to know, and from a quick Google search it does work with apple as well :)

Flash is garbage. Resource-heavy, incompatibility issues, poor for search engine optimization. It's ok if used sparingly, but it shouldn't be the backbone of the site given the much better alternatives that now exist.

Depending on her requirements, I could potentially offer my services. I've been into designing websites for a decade or so, but always as more of a hobby so I would not consider myself a seasoned pro. I'm pretty busy at the moment with redeveloping my own photography website, but if you can't find anybody else, feel free to give me a shout.

This is what i've used in the past... seems to work fine for what I need it to do.

Plus it's free
