A bit about websites:

Static HTML Website

To the average person, this looks fine, but it is just an information site, it is not really interactive.

Plus: Quick and easy to install, maintenance free

Minus - will soon be dated, not easy to expand or allow customer interaction.

Not recommened if you need your site to 'earn money'

Static Flash Website

These are perhaps the most beautiful sites you will find, there are a multitude of ready made templates available for £50 to £300. Unless you are a Flash guru, updating these template to put your own content will cost you between £100- £200 per day.

On the plus side - these sites are absolutely beautiful

Minus- they can be expensive to maintain, not easily up-dateable, and not particularly accessible by search engines.

Not recommended if you need a site that needs to be found on google etc
