I hired a dude to make a website for my company.
My Webpage
He went out of business after making a temp page and left me with this. My goal was to have a nice informative wesite explaining to people why its important to have a survey of their property done, how its done, its history, as well as our companies history (I bought it in 2000 but its been around since 1982) etc... blah blah blah..
I also wanted to put a Rotor in the corner of the front page that would link you to a sub page with a little write up explaining that a few of my companies employees passion for RX-7's and our involvment in motorsports.
I want to have a photo gallery and then a video gallery.
I have frontpage is this a good program to do this. Is there one that is simpler?
I am an impatient person once I get something in my head I want to do. I get frustrated when I cannot figure something out in 10 minutes and frontpage seems like I need more than 10 minutes of poking around in the program to figure it out.
Anyone in web design want to set this up for a fee and then show me how to edit it so I can add my own images / videos / text etc...

Jim, building a webpage is alot easier than you think.I wouldn't use Frontpage, just cause I think its a crappy program, but that just my opinion. I use Coffee Cup HTML Editor because its easy and has a built-in preview. It also come with snipplets and such.
If you need help with building it, let me know. I built my moms company's web site in about 3 hours and it has about 20 pages with cgi script.

I used to code all my sites in notepad. Now I use frontpage. A website created using frontpage extensions would be benefecial to you, as when you go to re-edit your own site, you would be able to maintain directory associations and frontpage functionality between the production website and the preproduction versions on your desktop. It is not necessary to have similar software as the creator, though, just less time consuming. I would love to help you out, payment not necessary - only problem is, I am usually very busy and will have a difficult time turning out an extensive site as fast as the previous poster claims.
