Squeeze Page and Video

Hi there.

I want to create a very simple squeeze page. Black background, nice big video on the left and an opt-in form on the right, a little bit like the frank kern and mind movies set up.

I have got kompozer but I'm a total noob. I can muddle my way through it though. I have a couple of questions.

-How much would it cost to get some snazzy graphics made up for my opt-in box? I have no idea how to do it, and would pay some one to do it. I just wanted a ball park figure how much that would cost before I advertise the job.

-What media player do I need to add a video? Sure, I could use youtube, but I want some exclusive videos to my site. And once I download a flash player or media player, to I upload it to my hosting? I haven't a clue, and I am very new at this. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I should mention I am using a Mac.

-Any other thoughts, and recommendations would be cool. I have looked for some tutorials, but nothing has been overly helpful. If you know of a website that could hook me up with some good advice, that would be brilliant. Alternatively, do you know people who would design something this simple for a reasonable price? Feel free to recommend them.


I know the above is a big ask, but if anyone could help me, I'd be exceptionally grateful. I have seen a few answers to similar topics on this forum, but my understanding is so basic, I need to consult with the designers of this forum.

Thanks for all the help in advance, and thanks for reading.
