Re: Has anyone ever hired a designer to do their personal company site?

["Chris Christner" <cchris -at- toptechwriter -dot- us>]

Hi Amanda,

If you won't be designing a logo, the letterhead/business card templates
on  online printing sites can turn out inexpensive but very professional
looking stationery.

As for a website, unless you're dead set against learning web design, I'd
recommend doing it yourself--you'll never have a better client or deadline
;)
The price is right, too: You can register a domain and web host for your
site for less than $50/year, and there are freeware applications available
for web design, which, along with a shareware tool like PaintShop Pro, is
all you'll need to get it done.

Good luck,
Chris
