Thanks for your time.

Nice visuals and Flash. But if you want a page that will rank high in search engines than it needs to have some visible, keyword rich text. In a keyword density study by GoRank.com, the sites that rank high in Google and Yahoo! are ones with lots of text. GoRank.com took the top ten sites of thousands of keywords and compiled a comparison between the two search engines. The top sites for Google, on average had a total of 943 words per page and for Yahoo!, top sites had 1305 words. To see the full research go here:

All this is saying is search engines love text. With Flash search engine spiders become confused and can't read what is inside the Flash design. What would be an excellent solution is to build a HTML page and offer visitors to choose from a Flash or HTML page, satisfying both search engines and visitors.

Hope this helps!
