Well, I wouldn't like over-dependence on Flash, either. That's why I said "tastefully". A site that has a little Flash here and there doesn't take anything away from the table, and in fact can provide a more interactive experience.
By the way, when I say basic HTML, I meant the very, very basic and ugly websites that don't even have decent backgrounds, color schemes, links, fonts, or anything else that might be deemed visually appealing.
There are some author websites, like
Joe Abercrombie's, that are fairly simple and clean but well-done.
And then there's
GRRM.
