HELP! I'm a SmugMug Virgin

I am using the trial version of SmugMug & as I play around & try to do set up the site I realize I'm in way over my head! I've been using just an on-line album - Phanfare & I can handle that. My vision is to have a site that has a few pics fade in & out when it loads & then have tabs for info, a portfolio of my work (with subcatagories for Weddings, Seniors, Families, etc), prices, clients (with galleries for each of my clients photos), etc. At this point I'm stuck with the basic set up of SmugMug which doesn't look all that great. I know it can be done because I've seen other albums with that look. I don't do a tremendous amount of work - I'm not a full time photographer but I do want something that looks nice.

First things first: Don't panic! Okay, now that we've got that out of the way
A lot of people have their SmugMug accounts set up according to this tutorial: http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039
Have a look at Andy's site for instance: www.moonriverphotography.com
The important thing, is to take things one step at a time. First, get the basics set up (per the tutorial above) and then worry about the rest. The colors, artwork if needed, etc. will all come later.
I hope this helps. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions
