In the long run it will save you lots of $s and give you more flexibility if you do it yourself.
I suggest that you read some basic HTML tutorials on the Net or get a book. Then try going to
http://www.2createawebsite.com/ and getting a free html template. Download the template and just edit the graphics and html code yourself to create a quick site. I believe 2createawebsite.com offers free templates. Your cost will be your time spent to learn basic html. In the future you can add / edit pages as you'll be able to do it all yourself. Otherwise you'll be stuck needing web-design services to change your pages or make more pages.
