Don't Build a Website Before You've Planned for It
A typical website design quote addresses how a website will look. It addresses look and feel, but does not consider how your website works with your Facebook presence, your blog, your partners' websites - the whole picture. In the end you will have a website, but it will be invisible to search engines and the rest of the world. Soon thereafter you wise up and wonder where the traffic is. You bring in a web marketing specialist to fix the problem. Sometimes the fix is more expensive than the original solution.
