WEB DESIGN

Howdy folks,

I have a client that is wanting a specific design built on wordpress. The only problem is the designs are flash based.

Basically, what he is wanting is this template:

Flash template #33654 by Astra

To be a portal page to 4 different other sites each using this same template:

Flash template #31763 by Astra

On one of the sites, he would want the background music. He wouldn't want it on the other 4 though.

So, my question is this.... Would it be possible to create two themes from these templates that act exactly like them? Or is this something Wordpress can't do yet?

He is dead set on wordpress, which is the only reason I'm asking this.. lol

Thanks,

Matt

You can have a similar design created in WordPress without Flash but it won't be an exact replica. All the animations in original cannot be copied without flash. You will have to educate your client about web development limitations.

  That is only an intro page, so yes, you could make the front page contain that Flash presentation... although it's terrible for SEO.
  
  You can either embed it in the homepage inside the loop, or use a WP conditional tag to make flash snippets appear where wanted...
  
  Thanks

This might help you out Press2Flash*|*Add the Flash experience to your Wordpress-powered Website!

There's a few more WP to Flash frameworks out there.

  lol, not so sure. At any rate, the good news is... I got him off the required flash. I don't really need this thread anymore since he is okay without the flash being on it.

  @Karen, I just saw your comment. That made me laugh out loud. To think that the 90's is considered out of date was funny. You really do not see too many sites like that anymore. Which is really a good thing. http://www.warriorforum.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

  Good job educating the client about Flash. I tell me clients, that in order for me to help them in increasing their Search Engine Rankings. They need to give up Flash Sites, because to the search engines, they are pretty much invisible. Google loves Wordpress.
  
  Thanks

it is only possible if you first copy the design and then convert it into wordpress but still some animation difference may appear. But it is OK, because animation hardly matters
