Make Your Choice: Swish or Flash Templates?
When you want to have an impressive website, it is not always that you have to use Flash. Several other alternatives are possible and one of them is Swish. Swish templates are similar to Flash templates but they are sometimes more relevant. Let us see when, why and how.
How Use?
The editing process of Swish templates is much simpler and faster than that of Flash templates, so that can save your time, especially if you are customizing a swish template on your own. Swish templates are supplied with all source files (HTML, PHP, PNG, PSD, SWF and SWI), that gives you an opportunity to fully control your future website. Video tutorials and customization manuals are also provided for the latest swish templates. The software necessary for working with swish templates are Swish Max 1 or Swish Max 2, Macromedia Fireworks and Photoshop 7+.
Why Use?
The automated special effects are built into Swishmax, which is not as costly as the “original” Adobe Flash Macromedia and weighs less. The objects that could be included on a swish website are preloders, sounds, movies, animation, 3d-graphics, galleries and many more. The key elements of a swish template are a swish-animated header and imaginative transitions of objects.
When Use?
The area where swish templates can be applied is pretty the same as for the Flash sites. They can perfectly suit both private individuals and businesses if they need to include a lot of multimedia on their website.
Have a look at the screenshot below. It is a Furniture window swish template 2079. There is a lot of movement and the pictures “appear out of nothing” and “dissolve into nothing” in front of your eyes. The template reacts with motion to almost any change of the position of the mouse. It is perfect for you if you have a lot of content (especially pictures) and you need to present it in a very special way.

The next - Creative design swish template - is a yellow and green solution for a business web site. A very creative approach to transitions on the site allows a future website to become a real experience for the visitor.

Btw, are your templates dynamic? Can I modify the text, images via xml or text format file?
I’m just curious how easy I can make the changes.
