Why don't you end yourself and ask God himself?

I wish I could but I have no real web design knowledge. All I know is what people have told me after they've stopped laughing when I said I'm trying to learn on a site using flash and aspx. The sites already written and does what we need though. There was an alternate html version for people without flash but I had to remove it because the aspx decided to crap itself and everything would default to an error page.
Don_Pellegrino suggested I learn how to rewrite it in html5, so I've been studying that. Maybe one day I'll recreate it but I just want to keep it running for now.
I still have the html version and I've been messing around with it. But it's formatted really poorly and looks awful. Plus my pastor wants the site to be "dynamic" and flashy. So lots of flashy buttons and movie clips that play automatically when moused over.

It sounds atrociously bad.
Perfectly suited for a religious group.
I feel your pain though. I'm a web dev (read: fake developer) and I never had the patience for flash or actionscript. I once had to do almost the exact thing you're talking about for a menu that played this annoying sound when you hovered it. It took me about 3 or 4 days because their gallery or library or whatever the fuck it's called was convoluted as sin. I hated it. So bad. And for what? Sounds. Animations. Terrible sounds.
While I'm probably damning myself to some circle of webdev hell for this, you -can- make a site dynamic and shiny via HTML5 + javascript. That said, if you can gently discourage your pastor from making the site a clusterfuck, the world will appreciate it.I wish I could but I have no real web design knowledge.

Of course, while you're at it, you might want to move it off of ASP. ASP is several flavors of oh-my-god-why rolled into one and coated in a thick layer of fuck you. It's really horrendous. (Stay away from PHP too.)

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those Thukkers, that way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody.
When I used to do client work, my team had this printed out and stuck to the wall. it was surprisingly accurate description of an itterative design process!

The boss accidentally pushed to live instead of test at least once a week.
