So I want to build a "Internet 2.0" type of website for a band. I want to use some cool FLASH type stuff, but do not know much "coding" Is there any semi-simple web design publishing programs that you can recommend besides Frontpage or Dreamweaver 8?
Thanks for the answer, could you build an entire website beginning to end with Flash alone?
Practice with the Free Geocities software you get with a free Geocities.com page. Then you will understand some of the quirks and fun stuff you can do to get a better Idea of what software you would pay for. And you could be up and running.
If you want ownership of your web page, and commercial affiliations, get one hosted at Yahoo!.com…And then, when you are ready you can transfer, your Very Popular Bands super page to it and save yourself some time and money.
Purchase the domain name when you pay for the hosting package and it will be included in the Hosting package free. If you have an idea for your bands web address better check now to see if it is available in the domain areas of .com or .us or .org or .net or .biz or .us .uk. .af .de etc.or whatever your preference.

Get Nvu for the HTML editor.
Get firestarter from CoffeeCup for your flash.

Well Flash is cool, but the real questions is…what type of functionality do you want with your website?
Flash is great for presenting photo galleries and such. But if you are going to have members logging in, posting on forums, joining a mailing list, shopping for band merchandise…etc. Then I would recommend that you use "Visual Studio 2005 Express". Its mostly drag and drop, however you do need to know the logic of what you want.
It may take a little research, but that is any project…even Flash. Thats just the functionality part. Designing could be done in Photoshop.
