Thread context: wants a personal site for photos, articles and animations and asked about a shiny "crystal" menu. and correctly flagged that tools and hosting can cost money, and noted a menu-builder suite was purchased. A few practical, modern points not yet covered here.

Flash animations created years ago will not run in modern browsers (Adobe ended Flash Player support in 2020). Converting legacy animations to HTML5 video or rebuilding them with the Canvas API or CSS/JS keeps content usable across devices (see Adobe on Flash end-of-life and MDN on Canvas and HTML5 media).

Photos need resizing and compression before publishing. Resize images to the display size, use responsive markup (srcset / picture) and try modern formats when possible. Web-based compressors like Squoosh are useful for visual control of quality vs size. These steps reduce load times and improve mobile performance.

For a "crystal" menu effect, layered CSS gradients, subtle inner shadows and an SVG overlay scale cleanly and avoid extra image assets. Verify the menu-builder outputs semantic HTML and graceful fallbacks; heavy JS-only menus often break keyboard navigation. Follow the WAI-ARIA menu patterns for keyboard/assistive-device support and test the menu with keyboard-only navigation.

Practical workflow: pick an editor and image tool that fit the budget, keep original files and license keys backed up, test on multiple devices, and run a performance/accessibility audit (Lighthouse) before launch. If frequent posting is planned, consider a simple CMS or a static-site workflow with source control to simplify updates and backups.

You just forgot to mention that these applications are not freebies and you have to pay a lot for them...
