I could use some help selecting a product to go with....

I have a small aviation engineering consultant company in Huntsville, AL. I have a website up and running, but it's a basic template offered by the hosting company. I have started adding the content, but the limitations of their template aren't getting the results I am looking for. I am not computer stupid, but just a developmental test pilot not a programmer. I want to get a website up and running with the look and feel I want for my company and want to use coffeecup products. Which program is best suited for my needs and level of expertise? HTML Editor or Visual Designer? I want to be able to have some great graphics, import stuff from photoshop, flash menus ect.

Any advice would be great....

Do you wish to learn HTML Brian?

If you have no interest in the html bit - get VSD - if you want to learn to have more control and make your own code - get HTML editor...

Note that you can move a site from VSD to the HTML editor - but not the other way...
Have fun

Thanks for that bit of information. I would like to learn more about HTML, but not sure I want to do that learning up front when I want to get my site established. If I will be able to take a VSD back in to HTML late, then that might be the way to go for starters. Or maybe just get both and play with them.

There is a trial period for both, so you can just go ahead and play with them.
