How much learning involved to make my website go from this to this (examples)

Going to be as clear as clear can be. I know how to program tables and basic html for websites. But in the large scope of things I am nowhere even close to a pro.

In fact I hate this last website I made.

I started working for a real business. Said I can do websites, finding out that I'm wasting entirely too much time on them now. Although my main job at this company wasn't websites. I mainly do lead gen all aspects of it (google places, direct mail, facebook, etc). Figured I would just do websites too because I suck at outsourcing things.

So here you go, this is probably my 6th website ever built in my life, first 1 for this company specifically. I hate it: All County Waterproofing

keep in mind I launched that as a template and planned on redesigning a lot of things. Actually I already removed the banner and top white space. I'm changing the color of the form, and removing the forms border cause it looks cheap.
Picture of the woman is blurry, where the customers are right now and shoutbox I'm taking that all out and putting a video. Also put rain over NJ too just havened uploaded the "better version". Overall I'm still just wasting too much time.

The form alone about 30 hours and can't get it to send emails.

So I'm not charging the owner for this site and explained how I should have gotten someone else to do it.

My question is this. I want to make something close to this site:

Pure Service Pro – Water Damage, Mold Testing, Mold Remediation & Fire Restoration | Mold, Water & Fire Restoration Specialist CALL US NOW! (877) 825-3841 We will clean it up!

I don't know how to do text in slide shows (like where a box comes out then you can click on the box) and don't know how to do really any fancy stuff.

I use dreamweaver right now and was thinking of moving to wordpress which I think might be easier to finish something quick.

ORRRR should I just pay someone else to do it which is what I'm thinking would be the smartest decision. I like to have faith in my ability to learn, but this needs to get done sooner than later. I need to focus on lead gen and this has been taking far too much time.

My question now I suppose would be what would you do? For the more experienced marketers on this forum.

will shows thanks for answers btw!
