Virgin Website

We looked at the Virgin website and went over bad points of it. The website is not well made for people with visual impairments due to it's colouration.

Also because it is all in Flash it brings up other potential problems with viewers and search engines as the only information available would be the name of the flash file rather than all of the information within it. Though, due to Virgin being so well known they do not need to ensure on SEO because if someone searches for Virgin they will find virgin.
Sites made completely in Flash are more made to look good rather than to be optimized for search engines, this makes it a good possible choice for a larger brand company but for an independant business, a not so good one.

You're right, they don't need to bother with SEO, they can put all their time into making it look pretty.
Pretty arrogant dont ya think? Going around taking over Telewest and other respectable companies that I USE and then shoving their popularity in our faces by having such a pretty website.
DISGUSTING!
