Dexter:
Thanks for the advice guys!

I have found www.templatemonster.com helpful in terms of having a lot of options to look through to come up with a look or design ideas.

I have actually purchased a few items over time as a foundation though transforming and adding pieces of art so the end result was not a boilerplate of the beginning.

I will echo that statement, stay away from MS Front Page if you are serious about having a website that appears half way professional.  Not to mention, Microsoft has discontinued that product, so don't expect it to get any better than it is now.  Front Page tends to attract really lazy users who never get into the code, so when something breaks, they can't figure out how to fix it.  Plus MS puts all sorts of propriety CSS in the html which is bad in every sense.

Try these products...I have played with both, neither compare to a real editor like Dreamweaver (crashes a lot for some people) and GoLive (Also discontinued with Adobe buying Macromedia).

Monster Template is a great website.  The templates if table based can be burdensome if you want to adjust much of anything, but if you find something that you think you can run with as is, don't change the graphics too much, keep the sample insert texts to the same character lengths, then have awesome designs to make you look greater than you may actually be:)

OSCommerce is an industry standard for ecommerce websites, but I haven't used it personally and can't comment on price spoofing.....

Or, I am sure there is a way to use Wordpress to have an online store.  It would probably not be easy, but you would have a free design, with a ton of community designed templates to go with and plenty of information and how to's.
