    Unfortunately I don't think anyone who's worth their salt is going to be able to give you a reliable (and honest) quote for the site's design because you haven't specified what types of pages you want on your site.

    Are you looking for this to be a simple brochure-ware site (static pages that don't change often), with the standard home, about, contact, offerings/products/services pages? Or are you looking for a more dynamic site that will have information changing constantly (like destinations in France, real-time price quotes, and so forth)? Perhaps something in between?

    Do you have any examples of Web sites that you wish your site to emulate, or perhaps sites that you wish your designer/developer to use as inspiration when developing yours?

    As far as the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) are concerned, the best way to rank well with them is to use clean, semantic and valid HTML for the site's overall structure, and to let CSS handle how the site is presented to browsers, cell phones, PDAs, and even people with disabilities (it'll also cost less to develop and maintain over time) - something that's often referred to as a separation of structure, content, presentation, and behavior (the latter usually referring to JavaScript). A lot of people abuse HTML to game the search engines, but this is often a bad practice that the search engine sites are constantly on top of and quicker to penalize faster than the 2003 Chicago Cubs collapse in Game 6 of the NLCS (and yes, I'm a Cubs fan, and yes it hurts that they fell apart like they did).

    Any coder who knows what he (or she) is doing will use the heading tags (and other HTML markup) appropriately to define the structure of a Web page (H1 for the page title, H2-H6 for section headings as needed, unordered lists for menus, P tags for paragraphs, and so on), which the search engine spiders will crawl through like Goldilocks went through Little Bear's porridge (yes, I have a weird sense of humor).

    If you can provide some information on what you'd like your site to look like (even examples of other Web sites that you like and/or are/were inspired by), as well as what you'd like to be on your site, people will be better able to help you (not to mention the fact that having a strong set of requirements for what you want your site to do will help weed out the "auto-bidders" who will inevitably say something like "I can make your Web site for you. I am an expert in (this), (this), and (that). Thank you for choosing me." when you haven't even made a decision as to who to work with).
