Website development???
Elk
I need to get a good website going for my art, product development and writing. I am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to such things and a website that features art needs to have some wow factor. I have messed with a few do it yourself sites and have just not been happy with the results. I can get around a computer but technology is not a strength so kind of figuring I need some that is an expert do it. Trying to staying a reasonable budget and some of the prices I have been quoted have been a little shocking.
Any thoughts...any ideas??? All are appreciated...
Cheers,
Ted
Dang it! I'm in the process of learning website development, but I don't have the ability (yet!) to give any wow factor. If you haven't found anyone to help you out in a few months, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I paid 5k for mine and feel it was worth it. Also pay yearly for editing ability.

I used 3plains when I did mine. They do a lot of outdoor related websites
You can do many things with the "toy" sites like "google sites". I've used it to build a web site for my states soccer referee program. However for a company, yes you are limited.
Professional web site development is expensive, but it comes with both technical skill and the artistic side. I can do the technical, but for the life of me can't come up with the "cool" ideas for the "wow"
Thanks guys that give me something to bite into....knew I could count on Bowsite ;)
My buddy owns Finishline Studios and he does great work. He studied art so he will understand what you are looking for. He did a site for my brothers machine shop. He is working on a custom mapping site for me and it looks fantastic and is very functional. He is a bowhunter too! Give him a call his rates are probably a lot better than what you have been quoted, and he'll host it for you too. His name is Nathan.
The sites he did for us:
