This is probably the only valid excuse. This is the kind of website that is like a brochure. If you have no expectations except to point to it occationally and say you have one, chances are any one of a million web jockey's can help you out of some money. But if you want a website to brag about, you might as well get a website worth bragging about. Now, if I haven't scared you off yet, I have some good news.
People DO make money on the Internet.
It is possible to increase business by advertising on the Internet. And you need to learn how it all works before someone robs you blind or you make a bad decision like sending out thousands of unsolicited emails to promote your business. If you pay someone to put a website up for you and you do not invest in a huge amount of input, you will get what that person or company thinks your company does. You will have to be involved in the project because if you ever want a return on your investment you will have to tailor the site to your customers and no one knows your customers like you do. I'm not saying that someone can't put up an attractive site that features your logo prominently.
