You are doing something right already since I found your blog by searching for refinance attorneys on the web.  So once you get a site up be sure to put a link to it in every bog post, as well as linking the site to your blog.  I would personally stay away from the canned and prewritten sites - they readily appear that way and do not reflect 'you' at all.  I would check out http://www.homestead.com - they have a simple program (I think other outfits use it also) called Sitebuilder - it allows you to write all your own text, pick out graphic elements etc. all with no HTML knowledge.  I have done my own site (see what you think - http://www,attybegemann.com) and one of the things I like is if I have a spare hour or so I can add something, edit it, etc. very readily.  The hardest part of getting a web site going is what to say, and you are going to have to do that yourself no matter what.  My theory is to work on the site, see what you want to say, get  it up and running, try to make it look pretty and then if  you want to make the investment have a professional redo it with all the graphics and bells and whistles using the text you have already written.  You will need to add the appropriate keywords to the text of the website and also to the description and one other place whose name escapes me that are where the search engines look.  From what I have read, and from my experience, with a routinely updated blog and a well written site you can rank very high in the search engines without paying anybody to do anything except host, which is quite inexpensive.  Good luck - and EVERYBODY needs a website!
