Dreamweaver vs. Flash

[benny hill]

Hello,
I am just getting started in web design. I would like some of your experienced opinions on which program I should learn first, Flash or Dreamweaver? I am a music producer so I would like my site to have a good amount of animation and stylistic design. So should I build the site in dreamweaver and incorporate Flash elements....or should I design the whole thing in Flash?


Thanks

Benny

If you want your site to be index by search engines and you want it to be accessable to everyone, build it in HTML, the language of the web. Dreamweaver builds websites, Flash builds the usually useless glitzy elements (like intros) that some web designers are in love with, but often do little to enrich the user experience.
