In the mean time, if you have a small business and aren't a total website design guru, check out Homestead. They offer over 2,000 really detailed website templates for a variety of businesses to use with as much or as little of their own changes as they need. They seem to have a really good variety of styles, layouts, colors, etc., so they don't all look like they came out of the same box like, oh, Blogger templates. :) The overall small business website design concept seems pretty usable. I think even my mom, who first tried email after age 70, could manage to put up a site with it.
There are specific sites targeted for many areas such as real estate website design. If the many templates aren't specific enough to your business, they also offer custom website design. That can also be a lot of help for people looking for a web presence but quite lacking in computer saavy. Their prices and services tell you how much help they can provide and for what fees ($600-1000).
For people who need more than just basic text and images, they offer ecommerce website design. You can easily create a storefront and upload your product information plus tax and shipping costs.
Homestead offers a basic website package for $4.99/month though it has pretty limited features such as no included domain name or email, only five web pages, 25 Meg of storage and so on. The more real packages are $19.99 or $49.99 a month which include a far better range of features. These aren't the cheapest nor the fanciest things out there, but they far excel over basic web hosting in the range of templates and help they can provide to anyone looking to create a small business website. There is a free 30-day trial, so anyone can give it a test drive.
