I need to find a good web company to maintain my two sites at a decent price.
I am looking for a company to maintain my two sites. I am presently working with someone who I am FED UP with. My site was SUPPOSED TO be completed YESTERDAY.....I WAS PROMISED IT WOULD BE READY TO GO... and yep, you guessed it- it not completed. I host 2 radio shows where I announced the relaunch of my site. This heifer KNEW how important it was to complete it. I was told up it would be ready to go up to the supposed deadline. I'm tired of half assed excuses and comments about how it's beautiful, etc, there's nothing wrong with it and the motherfudger isn't completed. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

So, I cannot see staying with this company and doing well. I would like someone who could make occasional changes, etc., at a decent monthly fee. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1. If you do not get recommendations on DU, try here
http://www.desktoppublishingforum.com/bb/index.php

They are a group of print and web publishing people that I have known online for many years. They span the entire political spectrum, but I always felt that there were more liberals than conservatives. But they know their stuff and there may be people there willing to do the work. If not, they can probably recommend someone.

2. When I was looking for a host, I asked on Kirupa.com and got several recommends of
Dream Host.

They do php rather than ASP, & I believe that is how they keep their prices low.

There is also a referral program with discounts for the first year. Just google Dreamhost Promo Code

3. Do you need someone to finish designing the site, or a web host?

4. I agree!
I ran a site for several years that was hosted there and it kept getting better. Prices are great, lots of features, and the down-time was nominal.

No affiliation with them, of course ;)
