I assume you just mean building your own galleries to supply affiliates and submit to TGPs?
If so, here's my advice...
First off, you're going to want to stay with galleries that looks "slick and professional" to avoid people bitching about declined submissions. There are lots of designers out there who will do gallery designs pretty cheap, especially if you'll buy 'em 10 or more at a time. Hire one, BUT let them know you're looking for designs that can be used as templates that you can update yourself and change out the text, background colors, table colors, etc fairly easily. You may have to pay a few bucks more for this.
This will get you one round of updates immediately.
Now, take those galleries and play with them yourself with an HTML editor, see how much you can do to change the look. Again, think about changing colors all over the place, change the text, etc. You can usually get 3-4 galleries out of each template with minimal changes.
Sounds like you haven't done any web design yourself to speak of. You'll need an HTML editor until if/when you learn to code it by hand. Dreamweaver and the like are likely to be overkill and intimidating if you haven't done anything like this before.
If you're on a PC, i'd try one of the two below, I think both have trials. Both are cheap and pretty easy to use:

If you're on a Mac, you likely have design software built in that you just haven't discovered yet.
