I have been working on a website for my entertainment company. I used a website building website called www.wix.com. It is a flash based site. You can build the website for free, then once you are satisfied, you can upgrade to a premium package that will remove all adds, and let you use your own domain name. Now it costs me about $9.00 a month for the hosting, and it was $20 to buy the domain name at godaddy.com for 2 years. It took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to use the website correctly, and to get all of the information up and running, but I think it looks pretty good.
Here is a link to the site.

I noticed that there are a lot of haunt themed items that you can use, such as backgrounds, animations, icons ect, and they are not cheesey looking ones either, they are pretty cool. At first I was very weary of using a do it yourself site builder, but now that I did, I am glad. I was prepared to spend upwards of $1,000 to have the site designed and hosted for a year through a company. But I think what I did looks pretty good, and it only cost me a couple hundred bucks for 2 years. On top of that, I can easily make updates and changes as often as I want. I can even change the feel of the whole site in just a few minutes. Unlike other do it yourself site like freewebs.com that all have the same kind of template look, and you know it was a do it yourself job, with wix you can really make them look however you want. Let me know what you think!
