If you are a wedding-industry professional in need of website-makeover (and many are!) then I highly recommend you take a look at the flash website template designs from BluDomain and Simplyblu.Primarily designed for wedding photographers but with application for many other wedding-industry creative professionals (floral designers, wedding cake designers, wedding salon owners or designers, travel agents, wedding planners, the list goes on).
They are beyond cost-effective (ranging from $400 to $800 one time fees!!!) and are customizable, flash enabled and include music. Note: you will have to supply your own high quality photos as all are rather image heavy templates.
I am super impressed with the quality, selection, designs, flexibility and ease of process. Please share a link in comments of your bludomain or simplyblu site or if you end up going this route!

liveBooks is a high-end alternative to bludomain- customized design but a similar easy back-end interface for changing and updating your images and content. Their customer service makes them stand far above the other website companies.
Thanks emilie! What a great tip! I will blog about liveBooks as well - fab! Your site is gorgeous -thanks for sharing! Rebecca
Love your blog and thanks for all the fun details! Have to wonder about the bludomain post though...they have such bad customer service. Yes the price is low, but somehow the phrase "you get what you pay for" really seems to apply with them. I thought about going with them, then I started to read some forums like DWF and OSP!
Thanks for the comment 'anonymous' - I really do not know anything personally about bludomain but certainly see their sites EVERYWHERE! As an industry consultant working on numerous projects all of which entail working with photographers I probably view over 50 photog websites a DAY! I am a big proponent for custom designed websites but know that some professionals are working on tight budgets and was impressed with the prices and end result which is certainly professional and polished looking.
I love to get opinions and then let people do their own research and determine the course that is best for them!
Keep the comments coming!

I am a bridal designer currently looking to get my own website set up, however I am not very computer savvy.
I truly appreciate everyones advice and am going to check out all of the web designers mentioned and give one of them my business. My website has to be up and running by the end of July.
I will let you know which one I decided to go with and give you my "rating" on them.
Until then thanks for all the great advice!
Randy
