I'm trying to navigate the above website, but the flash makes it unbearably slow. Can flash be turned off by the user?

Yes you can, in firefox... Tools..Add ons..Plug Ins...Disable Flash

That site needs flash to run, so you'll not get far when its disabled though.

The navigation is in flash only. turning it off will make the site useless me thinks

email ruth at ruthmoran.co.uk telling her the site is a POS may fix it for you biggrin

There is nothing wrong with Flash, it is the idiot web designers paid loads to show every effect they know on one page. Obviously Ruth thinks flashy effects are more important to her business than common sense.

If Safari in OS X, then ClickToFlash is the add-on you'll need.
As mentioned though, the site depends on Flash to actually do anything - so you might advise them if they want any iPhone users to be able to access it, they'd be best to develop a more strategic approach on how they want to be viewable online.
