If you have an extra few hundred dollars you can hire a professional designer to build your website. But there are places where you can find the best deals and best designs for your websites at very low prices.
The professional design companies which advertise in newspaper classified ad sections offering 5-page websites for $500 have many overheads to cover like office rent, designer's wages, advertising costs and this is because they are well developed companies having established physical locations and they do provide often an excellent service and product.
One alternative is to hire a freelance designer who works from home. All the operations costs are cut off if you are working with a freelancer who is providing business services from within their domestic arrangements. Great freelancers can develop sites similar to the full time designer so it is a wonder that people still choose the more expensive option when there is a better value and proven method.
However choosing a good freelancer is not easy. The best way to start is to use a recognized outsourcing provider such as elance.com where you can post a detailed summary of your requirements and an abstract of your project along with your budget estimate in dollars. You can get a great freelancer if you take care to always review their portfolio of work and ensure that there is a history of success in the area of expertise you are seeking. With the advent of Internet phone calling, you also now have the option to discuss your requirements with the freelancer in real time and can quickly get a feel as to their enthusiasm for your project.
The final option and one that should only be considered if you are constrained by your budget is to design the website yourself. You can of course save yourself hundreds of dollars for the creation of a simple five page website by following this option. There are plenty of options for doing this and not all of them rely on your skill with code, you can now create websites, if you show commitment with software tools known as a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) design applications. These allow you to create a website in graphical form, whilst the code is generated for you. Unfortunately the reality of this option is that whatever you save in money, you are spending your time on thus it becomes a balancing act between your budget and your desire to get things done.
