I remember starting out the same way, and I was well past my teens. But
after using (-or trying to) my pages and others having the "bells and
whistles" that just seemed so great at first, I learned they got old real
quick. The best page is one which looks attractive but primarily presents
the content in as facile a manner as possible. Bells and whistles not only
detract from this but make such elegance impossible.
