But if you're determined, the Gif Construction set will do animated .gifs, and Flash is always good for lightweight vectored animations.
*By patience I mean it can take up to six months after a site is established to begin generating traffic. You have to wait it out. I work for an ISP and do this for a living.
rocknbil hit it right on the head. Content is more important than a flashy website. Sometimes flashy will turn a visitor away. I use adobe image ready for animations.
