If you don’t have the ability to design and go live  with your business Web site, hire a pro – If your budget allows some elbow room, hire an established, experienced  and proven company. But before you hire any Web company, there are some questions  you need to answer:  Do they have experience with  business Web sites?  1.   Can they meet the time frame you need your website in?2.   Will you be working with one  designer throughout your project, or passed around by team members? The more  personal attention the better.  3.   Does the design company have  references? If so, call them. If not, move on.4.    Are examples of their designs at work on the internet? Carefully look over those sites, for quality and styles that agree with your own.  5.   What payment plans do they offer?  Beware of any that require full payment up front. By the time you discover they’re not as good as they looked, it may be too late to cut your losses.  6.   What are their verbal and written communications skills? Can you understand them when you discuss your Web site needs? Do they take the time to explain everything to you in “real” terms not computer jargon?
