Just stick to html, css and ajax. there's no need of flash unless you want to show video

You don't even need flash for video.

Get a good book of web design for further ideas. :D

As everyone said html, ajax and css is enough for design.If you know any other technology important for design then tell us, except flash and silverlight.

There aren't any others really, the browser is designed to interpret only HTML (plus a few others) and to design websites it is your only main option. If you feel that coding it all yourself is beyond what you want to do then perhaps you could consider a WYSIWYG environment where it will create the code for you based upon your inputted design.

You mean Javascript, not AJAX. AJAX is merely a technique that is used within Javascript to communicate with the server.

Thanx for the information....

How about Ruby on Rails? It outputs (I think) XHTML but it's a quite different way to do things. Maybe you should give it a try.

Using Ruby on Rails is a bit convoluted for a first time programmer and the use of HTML or one of its derivatives is still necessary anyway for creating any form of web output.

Well you have to differentiate between two things first... 1. The mark-up languages (I do not know whether you can call them "languages" in the first place) such as HTML/CSS/XML, and 2. The programming languages such as PHP, ASPX, Ruby, Java, Python, Javascript (scripting language)... etc. There are also frameworks such as the .NET framework (by Microsoft), Ruby On Rails, JSP (a Java framework), jQuery (Javascript framework), and some other PHP frameworks such as CakePHP, Symphony, Zend... etc.

Anyway, you cannot use anything other than HTML and CSS to layout and style a webpage, and that is because the browsers were built to render HTML content. Whether you're building a static page (using strictly HTML/CSS and probably Javascript), or a dynamic one using a server-side language (with or without a framework), it all going to end up being translated into HTML and CSS.

Flash is another story, and no you cannot do everything that is done in Flash using HTML/CSS and Javascript. That's a lie.
