Real or ad for the site linked? Hard to say.

If genuine, then it depends. Those hourly rates look Ok but it will take a fair few billable hours to make a new site, so I guess it depends whether you have the cash.

Bear in mind Joomla if a free piece of software, so you should be only billed for the work installing and customising it, not for the software itself.

Myself for a basic site i prefer using the also free WordPress blogging platform as there are so many free themes and plugins, and its extremely easy to set up.

WordPress does come in handy many times, I use it myself. Since the many plugins offer great expandability for pretty much everything you need and for free. So its a great solution. But not really for a professional site.

However you could buy a Content Management System (CMS). Its kind of like WordPress, but it offers so much more. There are many different options and different companies have different kinds, but they have always served me well since they can do so much.

For example, heres a powerful professional one, Liferay.
