just looking for some tips on the very first website im going to be building very soon 
its going to be for my girlfriend and will be basically on her and be a place for people to check out her skills, as she is a becoming actress.
Bascially the site will have homepage, photos page, expeirence page, contact page and thats about it.
the pages im wanting:
homepage - links to all the other pages, randomised photo in a box that changes every time you go on the sites homepage, simple design, looking at like a dark grey and slightly lighter grey colour scheme
photospage - will have all her photos her in a thumbnail and when youy click on them they enlarge in the centre, don't want them to load on a new page or load a new page. Dont know how this is done
expeirnce - will have c.v. info etc
contact - obvious
now im have basic knowledge from online tutorials on HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and just finished learning Flash.
now i know most will reccomend doing this in html rather then flash but what i want to know if how easy is it to make the html look as good as flash, doesn't need to be as good sounding or have as many flashing things, but the layout i have no clue how to in html like uyou can in flash
the idea of the design is from here http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/11851.html, its sleek and simple, but is obviously flash.
Wanting to get some advice on how i'd remake a site like that in html/javascript/css etc? would be nice to have the nice transistion affects that flash has, is this doable? rouglhy how?
Also smiple informatin i need and tips.
1. What size should i be doing it in? most places say 782 x 398 or something like that which fits 800x600. Is this best still or is that reccomendation old?
2. What size font is best? designing the layout in photoshop but don't know how big things should be, hard as my monitor is 1650x1050 and its for 800x600
3. Any other tips on how to create a website, i have no clue on what i start with, can peope post how they start a new site. e.g. design in photoshop, then right the css, then html, then javascript etc.
thanks all
