Field-level error reporting on a Sites page

Hi all,  I'm hoping you can shed some light on if this is possible.  I'm developing on Sites, and I'm currently doing error reporting via <apex:pageMessages>; all my errors appear at the top of the page.  What I really want is to make each error appear at the associate field.  I know I could make out outputText and pass over the error message text, but I'd really like to use the Salesforce formatting for error messages.  Any ideas?  Code below...

 

Sites Page:

 

<apex:page id="pg" controller="ControllerAccount" action="{!DoLoad}" title="Welcome to Parent Pulse" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" cache="false" standardStyleSheets="true">

<apex:form id="frm">
<c:ParentHeader />
<apex:pageMessages />

<DIV class="makeRED">*</DIV>1. First Name:&nbsp;<apex:inputText value="{!FirstName}" /><br/><br/>

<DIV class="makeRED">*</DIV>2. Last Name:&nbsp;<apex:inputText value="{!LastName}" /><br/><br/>
 
 Controller:
 
if(FirstName == null || FirstName.trim() == ''){
  	  ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'1. Please enter your first name.'));
  	}
  	
  	if(LastName == null || LastName.trim() == ''){
  	  ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'2. Please enter your last name.'));
  	}
