A proper business website is not for you to showcase your talent in design and create something very complicated. Always have the end user in mind. You lose a customer once, there is no second chance. The website should be in such a way it invites the customer once again. Do keep in mind that not all customers or visitors have a proficient understand of a website. Each one’s profession is different.

I always prefer the less complicated a website is to navigate, the better your chances at having people stay. I see this so often people trying to be cute or have some really cool flash, but does it really need to be there?
You can have a clean, professional, functional website and still make lots of money in your business.

I don’t think there is any need of using too much of flash or iframes your website if you are looking at getting business from organic traffic
