Remember those days when EVERYONE wanted to have a fancy Flash intro on their website? Yes, those flashy loading countdown timers made us think it was a cool thing to have, assuming our website visitors had all the time in the world to wait for the whole page to load.

However, times have changed. Web developers no longer highlight Flash features to clients because—let's face it—it's counterproductive. Loading times are slow and development takes longer, which means higher costs for the client.

However, BEHOLD—HTML5!

HTML5 has been a total revolution. After a few years where the web lost the animations, transitions, and flying text/images, these interactive elements are making a comeback in fashion.

Lightweight and fast, HTML5 is a good alternative for displaying eye-catching elements on the web. If it is not abused, it will definitely engage your visitors.
