http://2createawebsite.com/prebuild/website-creation-options.html I already have a domain, and am now just researching on what do to next. I would rather pay a designer to keep the site up to date oppose to doing everything myself, but also trying to figure out what is the best route, for either a. picking the right designer, or b. doing it myself. This is strictly business oriented and so far I've come across, SBI and adsense. Looking for hands on feedback and not self advertisers. Is SBI the best route? And what are some good designers out there to keep the site up to date, or is it better just to do it myself?
I have hired webdesigners a few times in my life. My experience is almost good - if you check carefully the webdesigners portfolio and see professional work you can expect your website will look professionally too. But it takes so many time to find somebody whose designing style is good exactly for your project that you may consider to do it yourself. You will risk nothing and have everything under control.
Not only SBI,there are many host out there good in ecommerce hosting. I using precisionweb now for 6 month without any problem. You should do it design your self if you have the knowledge,else you better hire other people to design for you.
