Hi i'm a Ez newbie,
I have to create a site for a Client , the design is done with a Flash header with main menu include, a vertical sub-menu, the content is mostly text + images, there is a special section who needs to be connected to another database.
Do anyone recommended to use the Website Interface or to start from scratch ?

Welcome to the community!
If you're a newbie, I would recommend a combination of both. Analyse and learn from the existing templates to build your own. If you only stick with website interface, you will not learn that quickly/much. If you try to do all on your own, it might be too difficult and too many risky mistakes can be made. That's how I see it.
Good luck!

Hi jo,
another suggestion:
You can use the layout-module to create a xml that contains the elements you need for having a dynamic menu included in the flash.
Tell if you need advice on how.
And as Piotrek said: Welcome!
