Agreed!! If you are aiming for online success, it is a advisable to get professional help. Although budget might be tight at the early stage, but think about the long run. Example that I studied before was this particular site :- alldotnet.com . It is a directory site using free php script. But the owner spend roughly about $7k in modding and designs (as claimed, but I believe it is true as the previous owner is pretty reputable).
After which, within 18months the site is generating a steady monthly income of >$200 within spending much time managing it except approving the link submited. More than 12k of links were submitted, inclusive free links when it was first started. Now it only accept paid listing.
To what I understand, the site was then sold for >$2k early about 3months back via SitePoint. Look at this way, if he continue owning the site, it is truly a steady income for years to come isn't it??!
