Here is one easy solution where you will get 100% unique design of your choice coded with Valid CSS and Valid XHTML well under $100 to $200, all you need to spend few hours and you are done. it’s no big deal!

Step One: Create a requirement sheet and pen down exactly all you are looking in a website. Develop a Link map in MSWORD and add contents accordingly, E.g. Home page, Subpages, product page and contact page etc.

Step Two: Hire a Graphic Designer, who specializes in graphics to get a PSD of Home Page and a Subpage. He will design a unique template for you and place all the contents. Normally freelancers are charging $20 to $40 depending upon the complexity of the work.

Step three: Hire an XHTML coder who can slice your PSD’s and code the same to Valid XHTML and CSS webpage. There are plenty of them available, but we recently came across CSSFOX PSD to XHTML/ HTML coding services, who code a home page just for $25 and subpages for $12.5 only.

Now if you calculate the price for a 5 page website it will comes near about $115 if you pay $40 for PSD’s. It’s cheap and more effective as all new CMS, including Wordpress are using a CSS based theme engine and any good programmer will easily port the same to any CMS, if you wish to get an dynamic website.
