 * I am in contact with someone who has an existing site that manually requires 
   the user to either select a Flash Site or HTML5 depending on the device used 
   to view the site. I have suggested a wordpress site would be much more convenient
   for him and will provide easily maintainable site that will be responsive to 
   the device (I have selected a responsive theme) to the device. He is still insistent
   that he will need two sites.
 * My intuition is that I do not think he needs to worry about separate sites for
   different devices, however I do not have the vocabulary to describe why he does
   not need the two sites. Can anybody help with some words to explain.

 * I agree with your assessment, Flash is really on the way out.
 * I recommend sending them to [http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2015/11/flash-html5-and-open-web-standards.html](http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2015/11/flash-html5-and-open-web-standards.html)
   which is a post from Adobe themselves encouraging web developers to stop using
   Flash.
