Hi,

I've not used this part of the forum before but it looks like it could be quite useful.

We need to create a half decent web site that can easily be maintained for regular uploads.

We have a current web site that I created at:

http://www.axiomusic.com

A very simple site with a few of our old tracks.

However, we need a new upgraded professional looking site with several pages to include new audio tracks, artist bio, tracks signed, future, links, etc

I've got all the ideas of how I want it to look, even got the final graphics (or will have when I've finished them) so then its just creating pages, adding text and links etc, to the background. I do want some intro animation if possible with a track player playing music in the background - option of 3/4 tracks etc.

However, time is something I don't have a lot of.

Ideally, I would do it all myself but I reckon it would take me ages to learn how to do things properly or to the standard we require.

Is it worth considering using a specialist company who can create us a good web page from scratch?

I do have a copy of Dreamweaver - is it worth learning how to utilise this software to get our new web site ?

Or can I create the images, etc we want to use and go to a specialist company and work with them with our images, ideas, audio etc. to get a good web site.

Does anybody know of approximate costs of getting a decent web site as described above done by a specialist company ?

Any advice would be appreciated ?

Cheers,

MM.
