I have been playing around with FrontPage using trial and error.
Should I get a web template or hire a web designer to make the site design look more professional?
I don't want to actively try to attract members until the site looks professional.
I've heard that the site will automatically start showing up in search engines after being online for about 8 weeks.

Since the site is very regional/local, once the site looks good, then I'll start promoting it by signing up for Google AdWords, and putting ads in the local newspapers. Maybe I can get local merchants to post coupons and discounts on the site.
Once I have enough traffic I'll add ads so the cost of keeping the site running will be covered and the site will be self-sustaining.
