I will PM you with a link to our family website. I did this using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and a tiny bit of my own JavaScripting....
BTW, it looks best above 1280x resolution...

At this resolution the webpage will not need to be scrolled and generally looks better.

Just a thought for you
We have been logging screen res on our support site for customers (about 100 hits a day) Most common screen res is 1024*768 and then 800*600. Most new laptops / LCD monitors come with a default of 1024 * ??? depending on the screen size.
I would suggest 1280 is too high and you might want to bring it down to meet a bigger audience. (may not be relevent for a small family website)

What I did was get myself a Domain Name, Austria have them on special for May and June for 4 Euros for the first year. I picked that up at http://www.eurodns.com/
A reasonable Hosting Service (and I checked out lots and this one had about the best service with the least hidden charges and fees) is
http://www.servage.net/page/hosting_features/
And that's how I went about doing this.

Nope its pictures of the Clarendon Homes (Traditional Range) Ballina 43 show home in Thornlands (Brisbane Bayside[ish]). It's the one the wife fell in love with and the one i have to try and fund !!
We will have it built - when ours sells here, we intend to have it built in Northlakes (Brisbane)
