There's no shortage of people out there who want to build your website. The problem is that you so often find yourself at extremes: you either pay thousands of dollars to a company who primarily deals with big businesses, or you give your nephew $20 to make you a website.
Sure, your nephew does great work, but he's likely heading off to college, and who knows if he'll be able to answer when you need to make a critical change to your site?
The web design firms who do large sites; sure someone will answer the phone when you call, but you'll pay dearly for it. If that's in your budget, then they're for you; but if that's what you're looking for you wouldn't still be reading.
You're looking for a freelancer.
A professional in the business who knows what to do and how to do it, but is working outside the auspices of a coporate entity. Someone who can put your vision onto the web at an affordable price.
In short, you're looking for me.
