The nature of web design is so that nothing is set in stone. You can start off with something simple as a foundation and build onto it. Days of the big launch or unveiling are over. You need to get them to your website and keep them coming back. Keep it simple and keep it practicle, because once you're online you need to provide your visitors with the right information when and how they need it. No one wants to spend 5 minutes clicking through intro animations and shiny button effects just to get to the contacts page. People love quick and easy. I know that because you are Poeple and this website is quick to click through and easy to read.
