Most of web designers when they are creating web design, they focus on that stuff which shows in the design like Font, Colours, and Images etc... but designers forget many other impacts which doesn't show like White space/ negative space between the elements.

What is white space/negative space in web design? - White space in web design means the space use between two elements to stand out or separate from other elements. Instance tab, space, and carriage return and many more but these are the main characters of white space.  Why you should draw your attention on this small thing, because unnecessary use of white space will increase your website loading time and if your website takes time to load it will increase your bounce rate only.

Visitors are always getting influence with colors and website designers should take benefit from this nature of user by creating attractive color scheme on website.

Designers should have to create proper color scheme on website that set well with business theme, so that by seeing colors only users can came to know about what the business is offering.

Now it is possible that you simply upload SWF file and you get HTML5 output because of Google new experiment of launching new tool called Swiffy in its labs. This tool allowing website developer to convert Flash (SWF) files to HTML5. That's means website designer can now reuse Flash content on devices. And you can use these without flash player.  And the most important thing is Swiffy's output works in all web browsers, such as chrome and safari.
   
Still Swiffy is on experiment level so right now it won't convert all Flash content. Now it can convert only ads and simple animations.
