I want to link a database to a website, how do I do this. Do I use asp? and
how do I begin using this? Thanks.

With some server side process. The specifics depends on your language
preferences and server capabilities.

ASP is one solution. I'd avoid it as it does a pretty good job of tying you
to the Microsoft platform (which isn't /that/ popular on the WWW). My
preference would be Perl. PHP is pretty popular these days. Ruby is getting
more popular (thanks to Rails) and Pythong isn't doing too badly either.
You could also look at Java (in the form of JSP or directly writing
servlets)

> and how do I begin using this?


Check your server supports your chosen technology.
Find a tutorial for that technology (since database driven sites are one of
the more common uses of server side scripting, you'll probably find it hard
to find a tutorial that doesn't cover the subject)

There are many ways of doing this.

ASP is certainly one option. It depends what is available to you.

Hire someone who has done it before.

Why should he? Learning something new isn't a bad thing. Four months ago
I knew nothing about html, css, PHP and mysql and still I managed to
build my website (see sig) using nothing but jEdit and a bunch of
tutorials on the www.

According to me PHP is the better option & the easier one too :)

I find asp.net to be easier with DB work, but the hosting is expensive.
