Received the following quotes from misc designers:
$300
$700
$1260
$1800
$2500
That's quite a gamut. $300 is riciculous, I'd hate to see what results that would procuce. $2500 seems like it may be pushing it, but then again. For a static, informational site with good CSS, a contact form, etc, it might justify the expense, especially if the design was top-shelf. Hmmm...
