Website design...

Curious if there are any site builders amongst us.

None that I know of

I know of one that is doing a great job for me. Hopefully he'll see this and contact you, cause I don't know if he wants to be 'outed'.

I do the website for my unit from Vietnam

Why are you asking?

I would like to have a slightly more aesthetically pleasing website. There are some specific things I would like that I just can figure out how to do.

What are you trying to do opie?

There are a few here, I think. I'm pretty sure Albert Skye can do that kind of work.

You could probably trade some hammock parts for some design work.

Specifically what Im looking to do is on my website, not the store, is to have the product descriptions next to pictures of the products. Eliminate all the "~~~" that seperate the different descriptions. I want it to flow a bit better. Perhaps do some design work on the store too.....

Id also like to change the background to a somewhat dark color and the text to something along the lines of a pale yellow. Some of this I can do in the Godaddy dashboard, some of it I just cant figure out.

I did download Open Office and played around with that trying to see what I could do, but I couldnt get a paragraph of text to remain next to a photo. It would allow the first sentence to stay at the top of a photo, but would drop the next sentence down to the bottom.

Im not looking for a freebie either. I expect to pay someone to do it.

You need to learn to insert tables into your pages. Tables won't always show the lines around them, you program that when you set them up, but they are great for keeping things in the place you want them in relationship to each other. A table floating left with a picture and another table in the same row to the right of it with the product description and probably your "add to shopping cart" in the same table cell as the description.
