Default What to expect when paying to have new website built

Hello everyone.... well, I've procrastinated a ton and need to do a whole new website. What is the average cost of having a new website created? I've only dealt with a personal aquaintance designing mine in the past, and need it done to more contemporary appeal and to be user-friendly as far as including "selling" options (never did use as a selling venue in the past).
Any advise or suggestions appreciated.

I have a friend who designed my blog and is a professional web designer. When I have pointed people to her they have raved about her skills and service.

www.enchanted-graphics.com

She is familiar with designing sales sites as well as other types of web pages and is very creative. I'm sorry I can't tell you about prices as I barter for her services, but she is happy to give quotes.

I have been a professional graphic designer for 20+ years, and have been doing a lot of web site design for the last 10. I'd be more than happy to help you if you need it.

Ofilia - As you know I do print and web design. For what you have in mind, you may be better going with an e-commerce site such as bigcartel, 3dcart, etc. They offer templates that can be customized. More importantly, they offer the shopping cart with lots of control on the merchant's end. Let me know if you want to chat more about it offline! Email me at hayley @ envisionsf . com (take out the spaces).

ETA: I'll be happy to do a banner for you, etc.

I use www.3dcart.com and absolutely love it. Super easy, quick, lots of variables so you can customize to suit your needs, fantastic tech support and very reasonable.

If you are having someone design and program an e-commerce website, you can expect as much as $3500 (in the midwest), less if you are not including e-commerce. You can find companies who will fit your budget, but make sure you not only see examples of their work, but ask for and contact a couple of references.

Muuuwwa to all of you!! Dori, that was exactly what I was wondering..... Trust me, I will study hard what it is I'm going to do, and the quote I have is well below that 'going rate'. Still, it's a lot of money for me just coming out of unemployment. None the less, the doing outdoor shows is now going to likely be a thing of the past for me, and even the "climate controlled" shows, are getting tedious, not to mention a PITA to do and be hit-or-miss in success. I'd rather test the economy from the comfort and less-overhead comfort of my home.

I love the many varieites of creative sites out there now! It's an eye opener for sure.

I know a gal who has done a lot of websites, and often barters for her work....I bet ya you might be able to talk her into trading for some pretty beads sculptures kinds of things.
