A professional design is also needed for community sites. If you don't have the skill to build a site, you can always propose a trade deal with a local designer, in exchange for advertising on your site. The same goes with web hosting. You can also use ready to use website templates that are available free from many websites. Do a search on "free (your theme) website templates" and you will get many results.
