Ok… This is my first post but I hope to keep this thread going as I have questions. I am a photographer/motion graphics artist and am deciding between BUYING or BUILDING my own flash site. There are a lot of websites out there that are selling templattes but usually you have to use proprietary apps as well as host with the company. I’m trying to avoid this but a few of these are…

[www.bludomain.com - [URL=“http://www.flashpalette.com”]www.flashpalette.com - [URL=“http://www.creativemotiondesign.com”]www.creativemotiondesign.com](http://www.bludomain.com)

So… I have basic html experience and some design sense and am pretty experienced in After Effects and Maya but for some reason I’ve been resisting learning a whole new program. I also am better at gui interefaces and really don’t like scripting that much.

I just wanted to get a sense of what I’m up against in complexity. I like the look of this particular templatte from bludomain at [www.coreymcnabb.com](http://www.coreymcnabb.com). It’s a little overwhelming and I just don’t know where to start. Is it better to just buy something or take the time to learn this new skill?

ps… My current site is [www.lusterstudios.com](http://www.lusterstudios.com) to give you a sense of what I have currently designed.

Thanks!
