where to start?

z
Hi there:
My target is to create a web site mainly for demonstration, information
publication, with pictures, music. It may require a little information
feedback such as submit application forms from the users. The web page need
to be looks quite fancy with some flashing picture.
My question is which platform is the best choice? Dotnet? Frontpage? php? or
other web develop environments?
I know a little about dotnet, but don't know if it is easy to make a web
page looks very active and fine.
Any suggestions ,comments would be welcome.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, attractive web pages are created irrelevent of language or
development tool choice by the author or design compnay having good design
skills, and understanding of HCI, web layout, CSS and general web principles
among other things.

Your development language of choice will not really make that any easier of
harder, but there are templates available for most tools and languages. Get
a copy of Visual Web Developer Express and try some of the asp.net sample
sites as a starter for 10 to understand layout and control.

Dreamweaver http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/

fancy and flashing is a matter of opinion, flashing anything reminds me too
much of cheesey spanish TV. Suttle animations and helpful queues work much
better -- annoying sites don't get repeat customers. 90% of the content I
see on the web suffers from:

1. Tiny fonts
2. a ton of material squeezed into a small yet very long web page
3. too many ads
4. really annoying flash animations before you see anything
5. poorly organized information
6. scroll bar tracking controls - ugh!

We've regressed back to "Shiny things" where designers seem to think that
all potential viewers are 5 year olds. Or lets put everything into a 1024 x
768 and just make it smaller and smaller and smaller... Even the site I
linked above has a ton of bad design points such as "datasheet" -- great
wording, I'm sure a potential customers knows what the hell a "datasheet"
is.
