And this is helpful software design, right? Buttons that do different things depending what you did last time?

Yes it is , actually.

I know "CSS" stands for cascading style sheets, though not entirely just what that is or why I'd need it?

Then you really should try to get an understanding of this. CSS is becoming central to most good web site design.

A primary reason I've never bothered learning all this webby stuff is because things are forever changing.

That's life I'm afraid. It happens in all technologies - thankfully, or we would all still be in horses and carts and using quill pens ;)

Actually it sounds to me that you don't really have the time or the inclination to look after your website and keep it up to date. If you are not willing to learn how to do this then why not just get someone to do it for you?
