I did actually try Dreamweaver about 2 years ago I think and didnt have a clue what to do.
I had a quick fiddle with Coffee cup html editor as recommended here and it seems good. I have been trying to work out the html coding and most of it does look quiet straight forward. I have worked out how you change all the text headers etc and started trying to work out how to add images.
Rather than get bogged down with techo-babble - why don't you sit down and work out what you actually want it to look like? and behave like? 2 column or 3? Fixed width or not - if you know what I'm on about - good. If not you may want to have a Google on them. Or talk to someone who does.
Once you know what you want it to look like\behave - the technnical stuff can be overcome, either learnt (the hard and long way) or get someone to do it.
I suspect you are not only struggling with the tech side of it, but the design side of it too.
If you have like a year or so - then DIY and read up like crazy. Don't have a yr or so of evenings\weekends - get someone in.
Oh - Whilst Joomla and similar have their place - a 3 page site isn't it. There's been some fantastic advice - ,
- go get a free template (MickTheTree)
- get someone in. Tom's right on this one.
I went from a surfer to being able to do a fully CSS and XHTML compliant site\s along with lightboxes and all sorts - but it took a long time. The technical aspects were relatively straight-forward, the design aspects where not. That's what you pay a designer for! I don't think it's any different for woodwork. But I work in IT and design stuff and code, so it's probably easier for me (sometimes).
Anyone can cut M&T's, but a designer can make a collection of them into a beautiful piece of furniture!
. The best option to use is wordpress, there are some amazing themes out there and it is a lot more simpler to use then creating one from scratch.
