Oops. Gave you the wrong open source link, although I'm sure the one I did provide is useful as well. This is the one I ended up pulling a template from:

I use open source templates:

I tweak and personalize them in Adobe Dreamweaver:

I host with Doteasy. I've been with them for several years now. $25 to register a domain name and host for a year.

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!

A Mac  and iWeb. :)

Right now I use my .Mac account (which now allows domain names),
which costs about 100.00 a year with many GB of data useage per 2
week period.
