Don't.

Don't.

Would you say that for every single type of website design? Or do you say that simply because you are a purist?

I don't really care what I end up using. I'm not trying to become a web designer. I just need to find out the easiest, most efficient way to create this website of mine. Could there ever be exceptions to your tip? If so, I will post a mockup of my website so you can determine if Flash is indeed not recommended.

I don't do much web design myself, but I find as a user that Flash tends to be buggy, slow, and needlessly flashy, not to mention it is a bandwidth hog. There are very few websites I've seen that need flash.

It does depend on what you're doing and who will be your users, but generally, I dislike flash.
