A Website for me?

I have been thinking that in order to be a successful e-published author I will need to have a website. So today I purchased a domain name and contacted a website designer with whom I am e-acquainted. That is, she is active on Romance Divas and I have corresponded briefly with her. Several other divas gave her designing talents high praise. So I'm hoping she will be able to set up a beautiful site for me. Since I tend to write paranormal/fantasy romances I like the idea of something ethereal and elegant. But then again, I love bold vivid jewel tones. I guess I'll need to see 1.) if she has time to design for me and 2.) what she comes up with.
