Build a Free Flash Website Online

Build a Flash website online for free, and with free hosting. I wouldn’t  place my online business here but I would consider it for a quick event site for example, or a demo site, or quick gallery/portfolio site, or…etc.
No knowledge of Flash is needed and the user interface seems quite sophisticated. Your free account includes:

• Flash Sitebuilder – 20 pages
• 10 MB Web space
• 100 MB monthly traffic
• 1 Cabanova Webmail account

You can upgrade to the premium service for features like 2 gigs of web space, unlimited pages, domain name and more, but at $20 to $30 per month it will be hard to justify unless you really have no other way to create a website (or have no knowledge of Flash)

Still, the free version could be just what you need for  a quick flashy Flash site.

Translate Your Website For Free

ConveyThis let’s you create a small translate button to put on your website. When your visitors click on it, they can choose a translation engine of their choice and the web page or blog post they are on will be translated into their choice of over 60 languages.

Translation engine choices include Google Translator, BabelFish, MSN Translator, Promt, and more. All for free.

From the site:

Why should I use ConveyThis rather than another free translator?

1. Our button combines six of the most popular free website translators on the web.
2. Choose your own style and color, the button is very small and can easily be uploaded to your website or blog.
3. You get access to a statistics page showing what languages your pages are most translated into.
4. Help promote your website to foreign speaking audiences.
5. Increase the awareness of your website among foreign visitors.
