I used a free template I liked as an example layout & colour sceme for the main page and derived everything else from that myself. I can code HTML/CSS but can't say I'm good at designing, I need something to work towards. I completely redid the example code to make it cross-browser compatible, fixed and changed a lot of the images, optimized it better for search engines and added a lot to it including a footer.

Once you have a small place to start, it gets a lot easier to improve on it. It'll never be perfect the first time.
