I'm new to the forum, but computers and web design are actually my part time job as a small potatoes hosting provider. :-)
What you are looking at on the site mentioned used to be called a hover button or a mouseover. Basically meaning that you see one image and as soon as your mouse is over the image it changes for another identical image that has a "light on it".
You can actually create rudimentary hover buttons in fpage by clicking the following series in the menu:
Insert
Web Component
Hover Button
That's the "old school" way of doing it, and it works. As for the page you sent specifically, they are using javascript to make the mouseover come alive.
Best bet is to start with something simple for your site to be online. Then you can play with a test page on your hosts server to get the desired effects. It doesn't usually come easily, or overnight, and you can end up frustrating yourself before you even get a chance to get started.
Hope this helps even a little, and feel free to contact if I can assist further
