On being stuck: Will it go round in circles?

This is my first attempt at building a web site and my perfectionistic ways have me spinning 'round in circles.  I can't seem to get the home page finished.  I'm stuck.   Everyone says, "Just put something up there, you can change it in time."  Of course they're right, yet I spin and while away the hours sussing out beautifully designed sites that strike just the right balance of uniqueness, functionality and beauty.  I see an amazing site in my future (next year's budget!).

In need of a 'whack on the side of the head', I pulled out my Creative Whack Pack for a bit of inspiration. Then I did a bit of yoga.  Then I took a nap.  Then I decided to step away from it.  Sometimes you have to just slowly back away from the project.  Nobody move, nobody gets hurt.  I'll enjoy the rest of my evening, sleep on it, and hope to wake up tomorrow with one or two really good ideas.  I mean, really.   It's time to get this done!

What are your methods for getting unstuck?
