1. Could you explain to people who don’t know, what Xpellshop is?

At first there only was Xpell.com, a very nice website, coded in Swish with 3D animations. It caused a sensation and we got many awards for our website. After that we started creating further websites and then we decided to sell them as templates. In such a way Xpellshop.com was born in 2003.

Xpellshop offers Swish and Flash templates maintaining the highest standards of quality. We specialize in code and design of Swish templates because Swish is much cheaper than Flash and offers the same opportunities to create multimedia websites with nice effects. Our customers are mostly web designers who order our Swish templates, modify and sell them to their customers. It is really fast to buy a professional design and only make some changes in the content.

2. What was your motivation for starting Xpellshop? What was it like in the beginning?

Customers, who want to have very nice individual Flash websites, have to pay really much money. Our idea was to offer them much cheaper. To sell one design for $3500 is not so easy. But to sell a very nice design 10 - 50 times is more likely.

3. What are the core principles you use in your daily work?

It is important to work reliably and create a design that identifies the topic of the template. I also try to code the templates simply, so that customers can modify them very fast. And I make video tutorials to show them how to customize them.

When I create a Swish template, the most of work takes up the design. I try many different colors and positions and only when I see “that’s the perfect design for this topic” I start working and code the template. While coding, I start realizing how to animate it. That’s a growing process and at the end there is a (hopefully) nice template.

A new updated version of Adobe Flash Player has been released by Adobe Systems Incorporated. This edition is now at the disposal of two main search engines on the web- Google and Yahoo! Google is already using it while Yahoo! specialists are still working on its implementation.

The new function available in this new version of Player consists in indexing dynamic content of swf-objects. This will be achieved by the bot acting like a virtual visitor clicking on buttons and links etc which will download dynamic content of Flash (and Flex) sites invisible to bots before.

So, rather good news, I should say. Google has been able to index Flash to some extend before and now this ability has been substantially enhanced. Flash-skeptics can leave their worries aside and let web masters create RIA with their stunning looks.

From now on you can enjoy the benefits of Flashmint’s Flash templates without worrying how SE-friendly they are. They are Google-friendly and will soon be Yahoo!-friendly. So, this is a new milestone in further making Flash a common sight on the web.
