Recommendations for Website Design Company incorporating online bill paying and possibly products?

[Guest guest]

I " designed " my current website www.LockeFamilyMedicine.com several years ago for my previous group.

 

I used the now defunct Microsoft FrontPage's templates and it worked ok - nothing fancy, but it got the job done at the time.

 

I then converted the design and text over to my new practice when the previous group dissolved in 2007 - basically updating the name to Locke Family Medicine.

 

I'm wanting to update the site and incorporate online bill pay (which I have now via a PayPal link) plus possibly sell some items online.

I have a patient portal through my EMR, so don't need that integrated directly - just a link.

 

There are some good web design companies out there (at least based on their online portfolios)...

....but many of them seem to want to design your website, but then keep you on the hook for $25-$75 per month for " maintenance " .

 

That monthly fee definitely adds up every year.

 

Anyone happy with their web design company?

 

I just want to update my current website -- and include the online bill payment and product selling, but not necessarily have to pay the high monthly fees.

 

I do want to be able to update information on the pages, but wouldn't need to necessarily be able to change pages and links around - - just want to be able to update the content without paying a website tech a bunch of money.

 

Suggestions?
