TemplateMonster is all about design and creativity, you all know that. And we often get asked about the sources of our inspiration for that kind of creativity. Well guess what – it’s the beauty all around us that gives us an inspiration. And since we’re surrounded by web design we really know how to find beautiful Flash websites. The original design solutions, the way they present certain business ideas and, of course, the usability of these high-grade Flash sites are worth paying attention to. So, we have decided to make our own list of top-rated Flash sites of early 2009 and to share with you the most powerful examples of premium Flash animation.

Design created by agencevertu.com
The first thing that you pay attention to when you see this site is its original navigation. It is presented in the style of the tag cloud (even though it’s not actually a tag cloud) that is placed in the middle of the site. It is not only easy in use, but it also creates certain chaotic and at the same time stylish point of the site.

Bright and expressive, this Flash animated site creates a striking impression and draws attention. Strong passionate red color makes it noticeable while the dynamics make it powerful. The horizontal scroll for the content is the strong point of the site, because it is rather easy-to-use. These key features can lead your site to the top of rating.

The purity of this top-rated Flash site shows us once again that high-grade and original style should be simple in its idea. There is no need to create the design that is lavishly amazing in order to draw everybody’s attention. This gallery is created in the transparent style, so you can see not only the chosen illustration, but the whole gallery on the background.

Did you ever sit in the audience and wish you were dead instead of listening to the most boring of all presentations? The funniest thing about this situation is that the topic can be very interesting to you, but because of the lousy presentation that uses traditional PowerPoint themes you are constantly falling asleep. At the same time another speaker can make a great and very attractive presentation but a lousy report. And again you are falling to sleep.
It just so happens that people who are able to create a good content usually don’t know how to deliver it to the audience. That is why we are introducing PowerPoint templates. They are designed in a special way to let anybody create professional presentations simply by following the guidelines. Every slide contains advices on how to arrange information in the most efficient way. Besides, they are made by our designers and this makes them look really professional. These templates can be used in making presentations for Microsoft PowerPoint and online presentation platforms such as slideshare.net and docs.google.com. The last, but not least goody about PowerPoint templates is that they can be changed to the core due to the fact that .PSD source files are included into package. Is it Christmas yet, ’cause this all looks like a whole bunch of presents.
Not long ago an interesting PHP function that allows to detect mobile browsers was introduced in the Internet. One of our visitors called Nigel told us of this particular website and we thought this is something worth sharing. Anyways, the function automatically identifies what browser and platform a visitor is using and redirects him or her to the relevant version of your website. This code is easy to use and can even be automatically generated with your own specifications directly from the developer’s web site.
The script identifies the following platforms: iPhone, Android, Opera Mini, Blackberry, Palm and Windows Mobile. Then user has three choices: to refer a platform to the group of Mobile Redirect URLs or Desktop Redirect URLs or to assign a specific URL for the chosen platform. Last but no least is that this script can be used absolutely FREE for non commercial purposes. Anyways, it is something you may find useful while building websites based on our Mobile Templates.
