redesign existing website's front page

I would like to "recondition" the look of [login to view URL] site. I want to make the front page look cleaner and prettier, for example: re-write the left side menu code so the categories under Juicers tab do not show right away; put 9 different pics on the page, make them same size and frame them so they look nicer (similar to this [login to view URL] or this [login to view URL]); do some background, so the page does not look white and simple; make only 2 latest blog posts visible instead of 4; add 2-3 simple pages; I would also take out the FB plug-in and put in a much smaller FB sign, like "See us on FB", and do a couple more simple changes.
