Think theres a few of us designers on here (me included) I'm looking to leave my job and go full time very soon.
Personally a fully custom website in my eyes looks a hell of a lot more professional then the usual easy site builders.
This will give you a better image when customers come to your website, I do a lot of graphic designs in the corporate identity category. This is probably my biggest line of income currently. I usually do packages for a full vector logo/typeface, with business cards, headed papaer then things can also be added to that too, such as stationary, websites, flyers and all that jazz - It maybe worth getting a nice logo/typeface made up and then surround your website around the design of that?
Any more info need just AAsk ;)
