Send Kalaeria a message, you can find a lot of his posts on the Ratings&Reviews section. He made his own and does a really good job with it.

Well the easiest is to look at domains, a lot of them come with templates to make it easy to build your own, or you could learn html/xhtml. Also dreamweaver is a great program to build a site, it's mostly visual and you don't really need to know code.

I was thinking dream weaver but.... $$$$

yeah, it is. I've seen some deals on it though. You could download the trial and see if you'd like it. other than that, I'm afraid the other two options are about it, well you could hire someone. web design isn't too difficult. There are several how to HTML/XHTML books out there that are relatively easy to use. I used one for a few classes I had and it helped. Weaver is just nice because it's all visual, then if you know code you can clean it up a bit. I do know if you want a basic site there are free places online you can use to help build it. google it, some might come up. I've always used notepad/dreamweaver and photoshop. dreamweaver was a godsend since using notepad takes longer.... lol

My brother built ours using web site tonight, it has a very basic straight to the point look. We've also been spending some money with google getting our site to come up further up the list, analytics and all of that stuff...I don't know too much about it. What did happen though is because we were further up the list Seth Godin happened to make a purchase from me and then mention me in his blog. Seth has the #1 marketing blog in the country. We ended up going from around 50 hits a day, too 3,700 hits one day. What he liked about our site is it wasn't too flashy, was to the point, and we appeared to be an honest family run business.

I honestly would stick to something like Wordpress. It's easy if you need to constantly update things.
