Working closely with your developer will help you understand truly what’s involved in developing a pro site. A generic sales person will only tell you how to use their DIY software and while you can certainly get a decent looking site you may not get knowledge of how people are finding and using your site, and make wise decisions on tailoring your offline/online marketing. This is why many business owners who plan for long term success choose to go with a local reputable web developer, someone you can call directly and talk to about your site. Someone who can guide you in making the best decisions on user friendliness and overall good design and functionality.
