Is this difficult and expensive or is it easier to let an agency do it for you and if so can anyone recommend any. Thanks in advance.      Report

They have a wealth of info. Clair The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. Paradise Lost - John Milton    Report

Good luck!    Report

Look at Laymyhat as Clair suggested. You can get a lot of ideas there of what works and what doesn't. And where to advertise.    Report

I had no prior experience, but I'm told it's not bad. The nice thing about them is you can design a 5 page website for nothing, so you can do a trial run. A lot of the free trials want your credit card details up front and cancelling is a pain.    Report
