Hi Mike,

I haven't been able to keep up with all of the advice
that others have given you so far so maybe someone has
already suggested this. 
But do you have a college with either a Visual
Communications/Technology or Graphic Design (or even
just a Web Page Design certificate program at a local
high school, technical school, or community college)
program? If so, you could get ahold of either the head
of the program or an adviser and speak with them about
what you are thinking of for a website. Maybe you
could either work with them on getting an intern, a
co-op student (these kids are often highly supervised
by their professors), or even an entire class to work
on your website and maintaining it. This might be a
good way to get cheap (or free) work and plus some
fresh new ideas and technology for your web presence.
We are currently going through this route and while
the site is not quite finished yet, our co-op student
has some really good ideas and things have been going
by pretty smoothly so far.
