We have an idea for a website. It's not e-tail or something that is supposed to be groundbreaking in nature. We want a site that can pull in related news events, provide links to resources and have some ad space. The only more complex idea would be to have a couple language options. That's where we'll start and let it evolve from there.
I have two experiences with this related to a website for my wife's side business. We won development services at a charity auction and the person sucked, she wasn't a professional so we couldn't really hold her feet to the fire. So, Aaron did a different, and much nicer one, but when he handed over the access and suggested the program (I think Adobe something) to allow us to edit we just couldn't get it to work (update pictures, prices and product offerings). The site looks good, and is a huge improvement over what was before but trying to work it sucked.
Can you guys suggest where to start to learn how do the type of site we want to do? An online template or something maybe? I could certainly Google and I'm sure get 1000 different options, so I'm looking for some guidance really. Should I just get Website Design for Dummies?
What is the going rate to have someone do it? We aren't expecting huge sums of money so we would have to see if this is worth it. My experience tells me I need someone I'm paying so I can hold thier feet to the fire.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
