Not everyone can create their own website! For the common folk, creating a website may seem like the Tower of Babel-something that's totally hard to understand and do.
Creating a website isn't really that difficult. All it needs is patience to begin with. The patience to understand how to use click-and-drag web development applications such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or template website creation services such as Geocities. Thus, having a knack to read and try out new stuff are traits that you should personally have. The point is, try it out first before you give up. If it doesn't work out and you have the money, then by all means hire a developer to do it.
Regardless of whether you do the website yourself or not, it's important to remember to have a plan for your website. Website creation requires planning like any most endeavors to succeed according to expectations. Your plan should include what your website will contain and what its features are (Is it static, animated, or interactive? Will it have a newsletter, forum, blog, online community, etc.?), which will determine how many pages it will have and how it will be executed in terms of its design and development.
Your website's content and features will determine to a large extent the costs involved in developing it, especially if you'll hire someone else to do it. The more complex the features of your website, the more need there is for you to hire a developer since interactive features such as having an online community, online subscribers, blog, or Macromedia Flash animations require specific programming expertise that click-and-drag web development applications nor template website creation services can not provide.
Thus, you have to really sit down and identify what you really need and can afford versus what is flashy and trendy. Consulting with a web agency is a good thing to consider after you've done your homework as some web agencies do offer free consultations before any contract or deals are signed.
