You and your friends are right but I can only suggest a free lunch.
Well, actually two of them. First go to http://www.oswd.org/ and, with
the aid of your friends, choose one of the open source designs there.
The advanced search function allows you to insist on one using CSS.
Cut and paste the contents of your site into the template but use the
text format they provide. Then go to http://www.sxc.hu/ and choose
some of the free photos there. I'm sure that you have observed that
pictures are almost essential for an attractive web site and that the
relevance of the picture to the topic is not considered important.

Maybe, but good graphic designers are difficult to find and they would
probably insist on a total redesign of your site.
