Hi Webmaster,
You blocked your product, pricing, etc, by requiring Flash.
Flash is not available for some operating systems:
  - Except under awkward emulation, needing tedious version alignments.
  - We as computer consultants, & our customers, avoid Microsoft virus
    compatible Flash. 
  - Adobe fails to provider inspect-able source code to security verify.
  - We run only locally compiled source code.

Sensible companies provide basic product info without requiring
flash, reserving flash just for optional gimmicks.  Your total use
of flash forces security conscious customers like us Not to view
your products or buy your services.

Extract from http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources/CdNotice 2011-08-23:
  Some web pages include Flash files that can play only with the
  non-free program Flash Player.  This program is gratis, but it
  is not free in the sense of freedom, and it contains known features
  to restrict and track users.  It is important not to install that
  program.  The free GNASH player will work for sites that use Flash
  version 8; if a site uses a later Flash version, contact its
  operators and urge them politely but firmly to move back to Flash
  8 for better compatibility.  Or they can advance to HTML5.

BBC are planning (at 2011-12) to offer HTML-5 but it will take a while yet.
