What test site do you like the look of? I like the look of the flash site but it doesn't work on all platforms properly, but I would love the flash site designed in html5

I would go with the HTML5 site if you haven't already. Two reasons, flash is on the way out and being slowly deprecated. Youtube have already binned off flash now for HTML5 video playback & some businesses restrict and even block Java from corporate browsers. You're effectively limiting your reach using either.
HTML5 is the way ahead.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but I've just tried to visit your site and it says it's been hacked!

Thanks for telling me. The thing is I have no idea what to do. I will get in contact with the designer.

Ask him if it's a WordPress site. If it is, make sure he has installed security plugins such as "Better WordPress Security" or "All In One WP Security & Firewall"etc.
If you have been given access to the site admin, make sure your user name isn't "Admin". The software the hackers use automatically assumes that that is the user name. Changing it to something weird like "chumchangtong" or some such nonsensical word makes another hurdle for them to get over. It goes without saying the password needs to be a totally random series of characters such as "08km||us1aQmKA".
I hope you get it sorted soon,
Ray

It is WordPress. I have access to Admin. The password is random. The designer is on to it. I will ask him for more security if I need to.

That's good, it's horrible when something like that happens - you feel you want to kill the culprits!
As a matter of interest this is an example of a totally free WP plugin that anyone with a a WP site should install:

HTML5 all day long, responsive designs that fit mobile and tablet devices.
Having a mobile ecommerce store is now more important than having a website...
