Where to get professional advice on my website approach

[ronandownes]

I have and had a professional photographers flash website but apart from the lack of extensive seo the painful maintenance process means I am not interesested in maintaning it.

SO I came to blue host an d am loving all that can be done.

However I am like a kid on Chrstmas morning with blogs and Zenpage galleries and etc.

I have to decide what I will be building my site with and also see if I can cut out several third party services I am currently paying for like client management with tave.com

Mainly I need advice and pointers. I assume I can get that in here. Either by paying for it or even just kind freindly advice.

I have my name.co as an addon

www.ronandownes.com

I need to decide is my blog going to be w=my website and if so shold I build it on ronandownes.com

and not ronandownes.com/blog


Or If I will be building a showcase site then what with.

I have looked a t drupal but it seems like overkill.

I have adobe master suite but would need to learn a lot of dreamweaver contribure.
