I don't think you need to drink any "koolaid."
There are many reasons to convert from Flash to HTML, not least of which is cross-device compatibility.
Philosophy and ideological arguments might be interesting over coffee at 3am, but right now, companies want HTML5 sites.
Sure, any web developer can offer this service. The point is that they ARE doing it, and packaging their service very well.
I've already sent this site to friends at three different agencies, and got enthusiastic responses all around.
- lhorie 16y agoFor the record, I'm not trying to start a silly argument about philosophies or whatever, I'm just making an observation that many people who are not techies don't really care if you're using a guy in tights or a movie about coffee. FWIW, my company already offers these same services, (in addition to many other). These days, you'd be foolish not to, since it requires such a trivial skillset (as far as webdevs go anyways). I did mention that I liked the domain name. I just wasn't all that impressed with the quality of the demo (both in terms of pizzazz and code quality).
- artur_makly 16y agoWe are optimizing the code for our next main release which will also feature an HTML5 video portfolio.
- jaysonelliot 16y agoI have to agree now that I've looked more at what they're really doing. It's a good concept/name, like you say, but doesn't look like they're actually executing on it.
- citricsquid 16y ago"companies want HTML5 sites"? No, they want buzzwords. This isn't HTML5 in any meaningful way, sure if they carried across the "effects" and stuff it might be truly "converting" flash, but all they're doing is remaking the layout removing everything that the client probably originally wanted (unless they were pushed into using Flash by a crappy developer) and then packaging it as some magical "social" win.
