Help me with my new website!

The way I've written the code, I can't really change the design easily. 

This is a fundamental rule in web design: separate the design from the content, and never the twain shall meet.

The first thing you do is make a "shell:" something that looks like your site but with no content.  That's why when you go to website design tutorials, the text is often in Latin-- it's to show that the content will be whatever you want.

The background should be light colors of low saturation, i.e. white or pastels, and the font color should be dark: black or maybe navy blue.  I STRONGLY recommend starting a new site. Build the visual appearance entirely using CSS. Doing the site right from the start will save you many dozens of hours of your life later.
