Prickly Pear Web Site

The home page for Prickly Pear uses a Macromedia Flash Animation to present a powerful and mouthwatering image of superb food. Sometimes Flash based websites represent a triumph of style over substance and can cause difficulties for search engines. However, when used appropriately, Flash is a useful tool for portraying an image and can be more meaningful than text.

The site is fairly static. Menus and prices are altered from time to time, and to save regularly altering the information in the personal profile, a small Javascript algorithm ensures the ages are always correct.

The background replicates the hand-made paper Jane uses for her business stationery and the artwork for the menu buttons was hand drawn by the same artist who did Jane's menus.
