How long does it take you guys?
The most important thing is that you do it. Don't spend all day on it just make sure you do it. How long you take depends on your skill set but you should be able do to something in less than a few hours if your a total newbie. Do at least two and test which one converts better, dump the lower converting page copy the better one make more changes and test again. Rinse & repeat.

Buy Xsitepro2, seriously, it's pretty fuckin good.
Don't listen to ResidualIncome about needing DreamWeaver to do Tables.
They're amazingly fucking easy to do in notepad for chrissakes, but if you need a visual based editor, anything will do them as they've been standard HTML since about 1995.
Wordpress is great if you know how to use an FTP, just to upload things to to it. The rest it pretty much does itself, unless you really fuck something up. Seriously, your host will most likely have the latest version available and ready to install from the internal cPanel.
As for XsitePro, if you REALLY want to make pages on your own, then yeah, get this.
It's good for someone that can't tell their CSS from someone else's XSS.
would the pages be of better quality if done in xsitepro?
yeah i should probably go with the xsitepro. i know no html or php at the moment
