It will get a bit complicated, but it will be worth setting up vlans in the
end.  As was mentioned you will have to configure routing between vlans.  If
you don't have a router that can handle multiple vlans and dhcprelay, then I
would suggest looking in to setting up a box with pfsense as your router.
It will handle vlans on a tagged port, or multiple ports, and it supports
dhcprelay.

As for configuring dhcp, there is really nothing to learn.  You just set up
another subnet for it to hand out addresses on and it knows from the
router's static address that it should return an address on that subnet.
