Hi Amelia,

WeBWorK (see webwork.maa.org ) already has a lot of problems written
for most common math courses, so it's a matter
of searching the library, finding them and choosing them.
Better yet sign up on the wiki (webwork.maa.org/wiki) and inquire on
the forum
to see if someone teaching a similar course will share their
collection of problems with you and then modify those to your liking.

WebWorK can be hosted by MAA (free trial for a year, low rate
afterwards).

If you do want to write your own problems WeBWorK is much like LaTeX
in the sense that if you are doing simple problems analogous to
problems already written then the changes needed can pretty easily be
done by non-experts.  (see examples at 
http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/SubjectAreaTemplates
or http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Category:Problem_Techniques ).  On the
other hand, like TeX, if you want to do something crazily new and
wildly different WeBWorK has enough technical power to allow you to
program anything if you are clever enough.
