Also, you will find many wanting to sell you on a slick looking site that is nothing more than a template you can get for free or a $29.00 download. One bidder's portfolio had nothing but downloadable templates with bogus site names. When I emailed him back along with links to each one of his sites template download site he never got back with me. Of course, he also had a very low user rating. So do check user/satifaction rating.

No offense to anyone, but stay clear of the "we speek very good englisch" bunch.

You may find yourself spending an exceptionally lengthy amount of time wasted on re-hashing the same thing over and over.

Of all the respondents and bids (perhaps 25) I narrowed it down to 3. The one I ultimately settled on and agreed to terms with never got back with me.

Thus led me to the sites DNForum and NP to inquire what was the best to use to redo my site. I ended up with Joomla.

Good luck.
