I'm not sure if this is the right "Browser Side World" board to post this on, but I'm not a programmer so forgive me.

I'm thinking about redesigning my homepage. One feature I would like my homepage to have is the rotation of text and images. I sell designer furniture so I wanted to feature a different piece (probably 5 total) that changed every time someone visited the homepage. Each image would also have text associated with it that gave a brief description of the product.

Is it possible to create something like that and still have it be SE friendly? What coding language would you use?

Note: It won't be the only thing on the homepage, just part of it. So there will still be other text.

The programming language used would mostly depend on what your web host can handle. If it's windows based it's most likely ASP but can also include PHP as well. If it's Linux based then it's most likely PHP. Those are by no means the only two but generally are the most popular.

As far as the SE friendly thing, it will be yes unless you use a client side scripting language like javascript.
