InDesign is way better than PageMaker if you are already used to Adobe products. Dreamweaver and Fireworks are great for webdesign, and easy to use, and Flash is just the bomb.Art and Design are so important. The template you have is more than good enough, but be sure to put money aside for future redesign. Most freelancers run anywhere from 35-50 bucks an hour and if you took to an actual agencey your talking in to 100-150 dollar range. You can pick up demos of a lot of these programs, worth learning. Even if you pay for a new look or template you can implement everything else yourself. Also as a dorky side note Macromedia has a new product called contribute, which you probably dont need as you probably know HTML well enough, but it allows you to 'lock down' pages, thus other people working on them cant go in and destroy/monkey with junk. Say you lock out all you site but the main body text, then anyone you authorize can edit that text via contribute, might be a good way to let your partners participate. Ive been wanting to use this since I saw it, anyohws.As far as art goes you can never spend too much. when you break it down to pay vs. time spent, most of these guys are making 7-10 an hour, if they are fast! anyhows if you have any Q's about any junk I just said, feel free to visit my website or email me.<a href="http://www.mythdrivinglegend.com" target="_blank">www.mythdrivinglegend.com</a>I think your doing a great job so far. I used to have  picture on my site and the jist of it was growing up doesnt mean stop dreaming, it means taking responisbility for your dreams. It seems to me like your doing just that.</blockquote>
