Hi, before I ask my question, I would first like to state that it is my great honor to be given advice from respectable web design experts such as yourselves. I would also like to thank each of you for your advice and help. I really do appreciate it.

How would I go about making a web-page like the one in the link below? What program would I need to use to make a banner like the one at the top of the page in the link below? Thank you.

Here's the link: http://osc.template-help.com/drupal_25110/

Thanks again.

Welcome nightshade877!

That is a Drupal website in case you were unaware. You can get Drupal themes from many different places.

The area you are referring to was made with Flash. Flash has a pretty steep price but worth it if you do a lot with it IMO. Some themes may actually use a xml file that allows you to use your own images for the flash presentation. In which case you would NOT need the flash program(IDE) nor need any Flash knowledge.

You can also do very nice stuff with javascript libraries such as jquery that "mimmick" that.

Just search Google: jquery slideshow or content sliders.

Good luck.

If you want to make a website like that from scratch then you will have to first make the front end template which in this case utilizes html/css/flash and javascript. Next you will have to make the backend that allows the admin to manage the site. This can be done with a scripting language like PHP, ASP, JSP, etc. and a database like MySQL, etc.

As you can see this is quite a tall order of things to learn so unless you are looking to become a web designer/developer you have 2 choices. Hire someone to do it all for you (expect to pay handsomely if you choose this route) or download and learn to use Drupal which like someone before me has mentioned is the content management system being used here. If you are not already familiar, a content management system or CMS for short is a program that enables a website owner to add, edit, delete and overall manage his/her entire website. Drupal allows you to use a large assortment of templates (that determine a site's look and feel) some of which are free and some commercial.

In this case, the template is commercial and costs $65:

So you can install Drupal (which is free) on a web server, buy this theme and activate it from the back end and go from there.
