She had initially wanted to have some Flash but was re-thinking primarily because ipads, iphones and other devices don’t support it.

I have been warning clients away from utilizing Flash for years – definitely not for important content. Most understand that if search engines can’t see it site visitors won’t find you. Now that it’s likely that a lot of visitors won’t be able to see your content either Flash will be utilized only for those things that only Flash can do.

It should get easier now to make a convincing argument against Flash now that the drawbacks are less abstract.
