Regarding asp php and mysql I only wish I had the time to study these. I've got books that I've bought but I just don't get the time to read them.

I'll have a look at James links.
Even, I'm inclined to go with his second suggestion of having ONLY 1 animated file in one i.e. the main page visitors visit first. In all other pages like services, about, owner, contact, etc., I'll use the non-animated version i.e. by getting rid of all the Tweening involved & hence creating the non-animated version. Lets hope that works perfectly well.

As far as the PHP itself is concerned, you could also sign yourself up on couple of PHP Forums, to ask questions whenever you get stuck:
