Well, that would be the way to go.

There aren't many options anyway.

Ok, yea didnt think so.  I'll probably have to use a bit of javascript in there too.

Well you NEED HTML anyway.

When it comes to functionality and usability, for example, you can use CSS and JS.
Instead of using plain HTML, you could use PHP, ASP, Java, ASP.NET, Coldfusion, Perl/CGI - that's where the options open.

if you want to make your website using Flash, that's another way to go.  :)

Yea, but isn't that harder than even PHP?

It is, and you need special software to do it.

How about AJAX? Is it worth it to go that way?

I'm pretty sure AJAX is just a library or something for Javascript.

Asynchronous JavaScript And XML

AJAX is used mainly for dynamic pages where the user doesn't have to refresh the page to load new content. It uses JS to communicate with an XML and PHP file, which they then do some sort of function and return to the JS.
