In creating webpages it is fine if there are some matters of the attention. You can think of flash plugins, animation via a Gif-file, moving text or menus. Nowadays you do not need to have knowledge about flash to create a beautiful flash animation. Nice buttons and other things are present in many numbers on the world wide web. If you would to develope them yourself there are enough programs (shareware, freeware) on the internet which can help, but need to be downloaded. Often 30 days trial versions that fully unrestricted work can be used to design beautiful things which you can implement in your website.
If you use a virtualmachine to install those 30 days trials you can re-use them over and over again just by resetting your virtualmachine to it's starting position. This is done by making a copy of your virtualmachine before you install any software in it, which you copy back after the trailperiod is expired. Of course this is not allowed but the today software offers you this opportunity. At www.microsoft.com you can download virtualmachine software for free. Just search for "virtual pc" and you will find a download link for the most recent version. If you install this software you can f.e. create a virtual XP in your current operating system (which can also be XP). If your virtualmachine crashes, just reset the machine by overwriting it with a original copy, you have made of this machine after completing this virtual machine for the first time.
It is worthwhile to take a look at google and in particular at google maps (http://code.google.com/intl/nl/apis/maps) and google analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/nl-NL/sign_up.html). Via google maps you can get a nice street-card on your website with information about where your business is located, whether or not additional information, pictures, zoom, satellite, google streetview etc. With google analytics, you can insert a code into all your web pages (you should apply for this code) which generates a overdose of statistical information about your website.
For all this you need a gmail account. You can apply for a gmail account at http://mail.google.com/mail/signup. Through this gmail account you can then signup at google-maps and google-analytics and generate your unique codes which need to insert at the given places into your webpages/website. The result can be a website with interactive pages. Look at http://www.backups.nl/geocoding. Here you will find a example of a interactive page which generates coordinates which you need to insert into your (googlemaps) page of your website to display your own street, building or whatever you want to show to the world on your page.
