I worked on some web site long time ago. I never used Flash at the time and Java wasn't really on that many peoples machines. I guess now everybody is using it. Back then I was what server technologies were available and what do you think the client has in terms of support for online technologies.

Now days there are more interesting things online. You can get code from almost anywhere - like if your a member. A majority of computers now days can successfully render graphics and run fluid flash animation.


On the Idea a of designing. I think if you learn joomla, understand the concepts of designing by modules (like legos) it would be really easy. Like I'd like this blue lego for my navigation, and these red legos are my main site, and yellow legos on the right will be for comments and advertising.

Creating graphics is not only fun but can be time consuming. Then again do you really want that part time job or you think you'd have more fun designing graphics and editing photos.
