Hey George,
I understand completely your thoughts - but if it is any assurance to you, I am not a programmer either, but using the forum I have gained a little insight c# and to be honest the rest is not as difficult as it might at first seem.
You don't need to know c# to make a decent looking store (though you may need to do a little coding if you have particular requirements)
Mainly, you will need to change style.css for your theme and you might need to make a few alterations to some of the .ascx modules or .aspx pages
If this is all you need to do then use the following software
Visual Web Developer
and Firefox browser ( with firebug installed )
and use the forum to ask the questions you need answers to - whatever they are (I've asked some pretty stupid ones in the past ! )
There are many hours of videos here http://www.asp.net/web-forms which will help you a huge amount
All of us can do anything we set our minds to.
