Tips & Warnings
You can work with a local web designer or one who is located in another state or country. This depends on your preferences, but if you're comfortable with communicating by email or phone, you can get a very low bid web site built by hiring somewhere with a lower cost of living. When using web sites like Elance or Guru, check the freelancer's rating and feedback reviews to lower your risk while getting an inexpensive web site built.
Always review work samples and check testimonials or referrals before hiring a web designer so you won't be surprised by the quality of work later.
