Custom Designed Flash Animations, Intro & Banners:
Flash animations are great when done right to draw attention to a specific product or service(flash banners), lead your potential client to contact you, or just to persuade them with liveliness to continue into your web site (flash intro). Flash design can be used to create moving elements, which are then embedded within your Web site to add an edge to the overall image and effectiveness of your design and message. A flash header or flash based menu gives a professional and interactive feel to your web site without distracting your site visitor. Flash can also be used to build an entire website. Though full flash websites are not great for search engines, when SEO is not a concern such a website could impress a visitor much more than standard html bases web sites. And now you can provide dynamic interactivity through the use of action scripts.

Even content management system (CMS) for a full flash website is not impossible now. QC can use php as server side language, mysql as database and provide a graphical WHYSIWYG back end (CMS) to manage the contents of your full flash website! In recent days QC has completed several Flash CMS projects that deploys this technique to manage the contents of a FULL flash website from a graphical back end developed with php/mysql and XML.

Online Product Demos or Flash Manuals:
Show your products in a lively animated way to the visitors with the power of Flash. Flash can be the perfect sales team for you- 24/7 productivity, no salary required. Online product demos and interactive sales brochures are the ideal way to provide specific details and information about your products and services in a low-tension manner. Web site visitors are more inclined to learn about your organizations products or services if they are not required to talk to a sales person straight away or leave their name and email address. Likewise, Flash multimedia product or training manuals can be invaluable, more flexible and very cost effective versus traditional video training. An animated sequence on the screen combined with a professional script and voice makes for a powerful and simple presentation that is both enjoyable to watch and informative. Get them excited about your product and services just as you are getting excited about creating an online product demo right now. An online Flash based prdocut demo can also act very effectively as prototype.
