you can just outsource your website project. easiest way to do it would be to go to Get A Free Lancer site (just google) and post a job (they call it project). you just post your project details and lot of developers will bid on your project. you can even set a budget range so most people will bid within your budget. one advice, communicate via PM with the bidders to make sure you understand each other.

you have a do a lot of promotion to push that kind of paid sites. social media marketing (myspace, facebook) youtube video marketing, and most importantly SEO would be some methods to consider
