Serious or not: A website is hard work. You can't just spend a few minutes listening to someone explaining some things and then expect be fully qualified; it takes a very long time to learn everything you need (HTML, graphic making, CGI, etc). There are full websites dedicated to these sort of things, such as HTML Goodies. And trust me, sites like that will be a lot better for you than anything I could ever type for you.

Best of luck to you with your website building
