General HTML question

I work for a moving company and we have a website designed by a friend but we are now creating a new one for our Office Moving service. We are probably going to buy a template from this website:

http://www.herotemplates.com/index.html

My question is I'm in charge of designing this whole thing and I know very little about HTML and website design. I can't find anything on the site about how easy it is to customize the template once you buy it. Does anyone know anything about the webpage or any advice on good sites to learn how to make a page?

I also played around with MS Publisher but the templates are so boring.

 

If you can get hold of a copy of Dreamweaver or even FrontPage then making changes to the content of your site is relatively easy. But if you wish to make changes to the design and the layout then you will run into a fair few problems if you don't know any html.

 

I would also suggest using one of the softwares posted in the above post.

 

Thanks a lot. We found a site that has great pages that are easy to change. This whole thing will be a huge learning experience for me....I'm actually a video editor but maybe I can create an awesome webpage. Thanks guys

I downloaded a free html editor on CoffeeCup.com, my biggest problem is that the company I work for does not own any image software. I'm used to creating animation on Affter Effects but the only thing I have here is MS paint....Not really very useful in creating decent looking images. Thanks for all the tips, I'm used to the basic HTML but I'm getting a little lost on how to create submit forms for our estimates.
