Build a website – should you do it yourself of hire a programmer?
My advice for building a business website is to use a professional website programmer. The days of making simple HTML websites is long gone and it takes a fairly technical person (i.e., a web programmer) to correctly code a website so it functions correctly on different browsers and so it is optimized for loading the website correctly and without error messages. This is especially true if the website will be used for e-commerce.
There is also the factor of time management. Unless you want to become a web programmer as your career, it makes much more sense for you to focus your time on building your business (marketing, sales, operations...) instead of studying web programming books so you can try to save a few bucks building your own website. Just as you would use an attorney for your legal issues, and an accountant for your taxes, you should use a professional web programmer to program your website so it is done correctly and looks professional.
To Your Business Success!

Peter's advice about the do-it-yourself route is spot on! Another critical skill your web designer must have is a marketing background.
There were 61 BILLION Internet searches in August, 2008. If your site isn't built from a marketing perspective with strong calls to action, you're either not being found or dont know who is find you.
