Keep in mind that there is more to this than a website design (though it is important). The "content strategy" part of it often gets swallowed. There is a big difference between a site that has lorem ipsum text and one that really resonates because the right content is in the right places. IMO, that's what a designer can help you achieve that buying an off the shelf site cannot.<div>
<br></div><div>...so it's reasonable to start with an off the shelf design (likely an open source or CC design), but you'll still need someone to drive the overall project, and setup a workflow for maintaining it. As I've said often w/ the Arquillian site, the website is part of the source code of the project.<br>
