Where can I find out how to do some fancy web design?

[CrazyWolfman]

I've been doing a pretty big website and want to add some fancy bits and pieces like a guestbook, a password protected area and maybe even a forum. I hear you can download add-on thingies but I don't want the logos of other companies messing up my design, and I like the idea of being able to do it myself. Does anyone know anywhere I could either teach myself to do it, or otherwise get some of those premade doodahs, but with as few 'this what-ever-it-is is powered by Big-corporate-company Inc.' things on it (preferably with none). Please bear in mind I have no money so I can't really afford courses or expensive software : )

Thanks in advance
