Im gonna get an etrade site designed very soon. I've been debating whether to get it done in PHP4 or ASP.NET.... My main reason for liking ASP.NEt is that i heard it has great designing capabilities while PHP is more on executing tasks. However I'd prefer PHP4 because dedicated hosting for is much more cheaper. The site im gonna get designed is gonna be very dynamic and would make use of Flash, DHTML, Java, etc..

would it be possible to create a great looking and dynamic site in PHP? And would it be possible to add Flash, DHTML, Java and other web technologies to it? I dont know a jack about web designing so i'd appreciate your comments and opinions.
