Normally, if you want to have professional designers custom build a site for you, you must be prepared to pay out at least a few hundred dollars.

Here are some ways of getting that site cheaper:

It is a rip off to get companies to design websites for you. Have you ever seen those advertisements in newspaper classified ad sections that offer a 5-page website at between $500 and $1000?
