Well, there are countless people you could contact in your town to build you a website. You can even go on the INTERNET and find thousands more all over America who would gladly perform web design services for you. Some will charge you several hundred dollars, at a minimum, while many will want several thousand to create and put up your site. But, and this is the important part, not one out of a hundred of them will know anything about building you a website that gets you into Google's top rankings.
The good news is that website developers have learned how to put up gorgeous web properties. Some of them are really great at it and can build you a site that would make you proud. You can definately buy a super duper website that you will want to show off.
The bad news of course is that know matter how much you spend on a fancy business website, you still won't have any new customers because google doesn't give a hoot how fancy and pretty you or your website is. If you don't show up high on page one your competition will.
Many professional web designers like to show off thier fancy sites so that they can charge you lots of cash. Problem is that more often than not this stuff has a more negative effect on your rankings than positive.
