[Market-farming] website development

I use open source templates:
http://www.opensourcetemplates.org/
I tweak and personalize them in Adobe Dreamweaver:
http://www.selfmadefarmer.com
I host with Doteasy. I've been with them for several years now. $25 to
register a domain name and host for a year.
http://www.doteasy.com
In fact, I host multiple sites on one account by registering additional
domains at GoDaddy.com for $7 or so and then just forwarding them to my
Doteasy space. I've never run into limits as far as bandwidth or space is
concerned. For the blog section I use Wordpress.
There's a business that specializes in making websites for farmers; I
believe they have relatively inexpensive templates specifically designed to
meet the needs of small farmers:

Hope this helps!
