I would also look at EDJE. I think they do a good job if you're able to tell them what you want. The big plus is it'd be connected to their network, and I think there's a lot of traffic there. I've never compared prices btwn Edje & Ranch House...that might be worth a couple of phone calls.
My wife Chris does quite a bunch of websites each year. I think her prices are very economical. She also does ads, magazines and sale catalog design and layout and she works out of our home and has lots of work. If you want more info on prices and design, contact her at [email protected]
