Tony, If you've already learned a couple of programming languages, expect to be moving along nicely (with the help of a manual or two) within a couple of weeks.
(Now you may not like the rest of this, but its the harsh truth) Otherwise, I would think that most people would need to set aside at least three months to a year for learning server-side code and databases well enough to be effective for a business site.
And if that site is for your business, may I suggest you hire a professional web designer/programmer? And preferably one who is fairly local to you (that eliminates me here in Oklahoma) who has good samples of work to show and good references.
Tony, most websites that the owners did by themselves, look like the owners created them themselves - know what I mean? And while yours is far above average (for an owner-created site) a good web designer with marketing experience can help you a lot.
