Flash vs. html: what does the average surfer want?

www.austinweddingprofessionals.com and www.visuallyrics.com are 2 good html sites.

not at all in my opinion. They might serve the purpose of informing, but are NOT eye attractive…

The only gripe I have with Flash is the absence of a native back button.

Plus some of the flash ads are getting really annoying.

HTML.

Use anchors, have a good flash structure and the user can then use his own back button.
