If you get familiar enough with CSS you can design your site nice and still keep it good for the search engines. And as far as flash goes, its ok to use as long as you are using it for media and not navigation cause the search engines cannot crawl it.

I think it is just like anything else, everything in moderation. You certainly can't ignore SEO and maybe you can't rank #1 for the big terms w/o some pretty decent knowledge, but you can still generate enough business online without being an SEO expert. @Jayson and Sundream – I hear you on the SEO, but I agree with Jayson who cares where you rank and how much traffic you have if you site looks like crap and you can’t convert anything.

It takes work, work, work. And then when you get it just about where you want it... Start over, the technology has changed. That's the way that it's been with my San Diego real estate site anyway. It becomes a lifestyle to keep up a good website. .-= San Diego Homes´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sdrealtypros.com/article/carmel-valley-luxury-homes-down/" rel="nofollow">Carmel Valley Luxury Homes Down</a> =-.
