Right now I have a membership type that has a contribution page which also creates a Drupal user account.

The issue here is that while it does the things it needs to do (create account, take money...) it isn't very nice looking, or all that user friendly.

So, assuming that I'm not barking up the wrong tree entirely (which I hope I am), I have some basic questions:

Can I put the contribution amount at the bottom of the page? I would rather have a user fill out the profile fields first.
Can I change the text of the "Confirm Contribution" button? From the user's perspective this is an account creation form, and that isn't a contribution, it's a fee for creating an account; so the text is doubly confusing.
Can this be more tightly integrated on the drupal side? I can already input all the CiviCRM fields on that registration form, I just need to add the payment section and it would be perfect.
Can the URL be something other than /civicrm/contribute/transact?...., something like /user/register, or /signup looks so much better
Is it possible to disable reCaptcha? Users are paying to be members, that's a good enough way to filter out bots as far as I'm concerned, no need to have reCaptcha as well.

Might want to read the developer book, http://book.civicrm.org/developer/. Your questions are answered in a lot more detail there, briefly in the same order of our questions:

1. Yes, use template customization

2. Yes, might be easiest to do this via a small jQuery snippet

3. Yes, you can use a contribution form to create a drupal account. So this form becomes your "site registration form"

4. No, but this has been a requested feature, so if you are willing to work on it that would be great

5. Yes, reCaptcha is optional and u need to enable or disable it in profile settings. However u want captcha more as a deterrent to spammers who want to try various credit cards on your site and see which ones work etc. Its a lot harder w captcha

RE: nicer URL's, according to Micah Lee at EFF.org:
"URL aliases (path module) work great with CiviCRM."
