Advice for building professional websites?

[Atown512]

Hey guys, I just got started with a small content-based website, and I am having trouble making the site look professional. I have been using CoffeeCup VSD and I am not getting very good results. CoffeeCup seems a little too limited for what I want my site to look like, not to mention the poor customer service I have been getting from them.

I have considered outsourcing the development, but I would prefer to learn the process of building a professional website for myself. Does anyone have any recommendations for websites, books, video tutorials, or anything that might help a newbie build quality websites?
