Most SA users are still on dialup, so perhaps flashy sites aren't where it's at. I love a good flash site - leoburnett.ca is incredible, but i think web developers aren't creative in their use of size, I can't comment on the site, because it is still loading ten min later. I always wondered if you can't have a script on your landing page that checks the download speed, and selects the correct size site for your connection, like a stripped done html version for dial up users. Also I think the demographics of internet connections in SA, are that dial up users are not as techno aware as adsl users, although that is probably changing with lots of marketing of "cheap" "broadband" by the telkoms and mwebs.
