I come from a very technical background so i find it rather easy to implement a design with (x)html and css. I think the reason most designers use flash is the visual approach to laying out the art and quickly add dynamic interactivity. Most of the designers i have met aren't comfortable with sitting in front of a text editor manipulating tags and stylesheets. That isn't a criticism of them, its more a criticism of website IDE's I think that dreamweaver is very good (last time i tried it) but it still looks like a glorified text editor. What there needs to be is a package to bridge the gap. Thats just my 2 penny-cents. I think the world is going to have to move away from flash, what with HTML 5 and an non-flash iPad influenced market. Why bother making a separate site for another device?

It does seem odd that they so often end up with flash. It's hard to say if that is client driven or if the agencies they work with just gravitate to that approach. I hear what your saying.

From my experience that's too often the case with arts sites - be it fashion, photography, interior design etc. Apart from wondering why that is, it annoys me to no extent. Sites like these especially make you want to explore them, view their images, share bits and pieces - but no go. What kind of webdev/design firms do these people work with?!
