OK, first off, AshDee, you are no help. Saying "its lame" in no way helps the designer or give him/her any ideas about how to improve it. If you can't say anytihing constructive, don't say anything at all.
Secondly, I would recommend going to a designer. It takes years to learn how to create a truly professional site, it's not something you can learn overnight. Find a good designer and get a custom-made site. Remember, don't go for the cheap option, if you want quality, you're gonna have to pay for it!
