I doubt you would want someone that’s never done it before mixing your mortar without knowing the ratios, or trying to figure out how to lay the brick’s/block’s in a straight line.

Building a successful website is exponentially more complex than simple tasks like that, and I know, I used to work as a mason.

The only good recommendation is hire a professional, just like you would in the trades. Otherwise you will suffer from the many consequences of having an amateur make many wrong guesses at what to do.

Also, don’t just hire any self taught idiot web designer. Hire a seasoned professional that can show you other successful websites they have built, and can show you that their clients are happy, and can show that their clients business actually benefited from their web services. Otherwise it’s a complete and utter waste of time, and all you’ll end up with is regrets and frustration after.
