I'm totally impartial as to whoever you guys sign up with, but I would recommend that whoever it is provide you with a 'value for money' site. For example, you want a pretty site that attracts human eyes, right? Course ya do, but you should be aware that you also need to design your site for the search engines. The end result being a trade-off between the two. Dawnie, your site is really really pretty, but is totally unfriendly to the search engines. They can see your site title, description and keywords, but none of your body text is visible to them. Your site has been made with a template which gels everything into a series of pictures. Search engines cant see or read pictures, so your whole page of text is wasted in that respect. If you dont believe me, pay a visit to this site and enter your url
