Hi Juliet, If you've never created a site in Mambo before, there is a bit of a learning curve in terms of creating templates as well as in understanding how the components and modules work together and what is available. It would also be good to have some knowledge of how to manage a MySQL database, perhaps in a db manager tool like phpMyAdmin or similar. I'd be happy to talk to you a bit more off-list about this. Contact info below. Btw, I'd recommend the Mambo offshoot, "Joomla".
