The words "flash" "user friendly" and "update easily" sadly do belong in the same sentence.

It's very difficult to create a website entirely in flash that will allow the client to easily update.

I think you meant "do not" lol, and I would agree, valid html and css cannot be beaten IMHO

Flash sites render useless a browser's Back button and address bar, and make bookmarking pages inside a Flash site impossible. Printing Flash pages from your browser doesn't work, nor does intra-page keyword searching, they eliminate HTML links' visited and unvisited colors, and that colour-changing feature is the Web's single most important navigational cue.

Flash sites may look good but they are the single most annoying thing on the web apart from Claire Sweeney.

I couldn't agree more with your comments about sites that use "Flash." I'd much rather have my crappy designed sites that I can change, add updates to etc. in seconds than use that..

Give me a call maybe our guys can point you the right direction, if you can show a template you like, they work in Flash, Java etc even doing payment API's at mo. I personally use Net Objects because its easy and you can do loads with it your self, it is much easier than Dreamweaver etc etc,
