How can I create a website?

I'm creating a website that will have all of my photography and skateboarding videos etc in it. It will be a more fancy type blog. But I need feedback on what to make the layout. Should it be a click to enter with a huge picture? Or very simplistic? And is there anyone out there willing to help me? I'm 18 years old and very pregnant, working a lot so I don't have the time to get most of what I want done. PLEASE HELP. Or if there are any artists out there just wanting to help, could you draw a gun but exploding out of the barrel be waves and other "trippy" things? <---that would be part of my "click to enter" idea.
