Alright well first of all gimp is pretty good at making images so if you are good with making said images then you should be fine.

 

If you could get more questions to me I'd be glad to help. Utilize the open source around you.

 

If you want to make it look really good get bootstrap and font awesome.

Good place to start, really you probably do a HCI design but seeing as you are the client and the users you can just make it up :)

 

You'll to think about white space, flow of items (using different colour to pull people eye to a part of the site) and making sure colour compliment or contrast but don't clash.

Flow of items give this a read : https://blog.kissmetrics.com/eye-tracking-studies/
