Page objects not sites

Try to use Flash only where it is needed. Many rich media sites such as Google’s YouTube use Flash for rich media but rely on HTML for content and navigation. You can too, by limiting Flash to on-page accents and rich media, not content and navigation. In addition to making your site Googlebot-friendly, this makes you site accessible to a larger audience, including, for example, blind people using screen readers, users of old or non-standard browsers, and those on limited low-bandwidth connections such as on a cell phone or PDA. As a bonus, your visitors can use bookmarks effectively, and can email links to your pages to their friends.

One important thing to note is that Safari for the iPhone does not include scroll bars, either vertical or horizontal, so keep an eye on how your pages scroll. My advice is that if your iPhone-specific web page has to scroll, it should only scroll vertically and not in two dimensions.

Do not use internal scrollbars.
