Is it just me but... I think too many website designers build fancy flash based websites when the use of flash has become over used and is no longer distinct enough. For example with my company we focus back on the accesibility and usability. Dont get me wrong, "eye candy" is vital but only in moderation. well thats my two cents.
I think 2advanced has a crap website. Is the background picture good? Yes Layout? Bad SEO? Non existant Intuitive? No Accessible? No Fast Loading? Hell no
Hi, I don't which is the biggest company related web design in the world and if you wanna know so search on the google and any other search engine.
I agree with rochow and miikey, if you're going to use Flash use it properly. It's all about HCI, not showing off your creative skills. Your interface needs to do the important things i.e. ensure that your user's primary objectives, e.g. obtaining information or purchasing a product, are as quick and easy as possible, without making them think any more than they have to and without creating any confusion or frustration for the user while they are on your website.
2advanced has been around since the dawn of website design. Hell, I've been doing it for over 8 years now and as far as I know, they were there before I was. I don't think they're the biggest, but probably the most well-known. [EDIT] Yup, they started in 1999.
