I currently use Clikpic for my website but would really like something a little more modern/ unique looking. After a bit of browsing for web templates etc I came across this one which I quite like (without music though).

How easy would it be for me build something like this myself or how much would it cost to have one similar built for me (PM me on this if you prefer) ?

In flash or without?

Something like that could be done in normal html although it wont be as sparkly but it would be simple to do.

Just my 1o cents.... but that's a horrible website design - too much sound and animation - I could only stand to click 2 links before I had to close it!

Agree, the music and sound effects were too much and I had to close it after a few seconds.
As a web designer, I certainly wouldn't recommend that. A little flash can be ok but anything more than a little is too much. I wouldn't recommend using sound effects on buttons etc either, it's just too annoying.
 
Thanks for the replies...I'd definitely give the music a miss but I do quite like the functioning of the site although there probably is slight overkill on flash...what I particularly like is the "clean" and purposeful format of the site, no messy text everywhere or dozens of small thumbnails.

I would also need e-commerce/blog/links-page options which the website example here doesn't have

Plenty of open source software for those.

You'll need an MySql database on the server, so make sure you buy webspace with at least one MySql database, (you can have more than one application on a single database).

Now, e-commerce:

www.oscommerce.com
www.zen-cart.com
www.prestashop.com
http://www.magentocommerce.com/


As for blogs,

www.wordpress.com
www.blogger.com

Then speak to a designer, and dont look at templates!

The issue with templates is that everyone uses them, so they will never be unique. We offer a totally bespoke service, and would be happy to quote for you. Design which starts with a blank piece of paper etc.
