I bought a wordpress skin. (paid skin are most of the time better than free one).
And I customized it. I don’t think you really need more, if you’re not a big corporate.
I did see some nice templates on GraphicRiver so I will have another look and make some customizations to just fit my needs. It will save me a fortune too
Mine is at my sig. I’m no web designer and I think it shows but I made a good job without touching HTML using XARA’s website authoring tools. I already use the tool for most 2d art design so I had an idea how to draw on it.
www.evilegg.co.uk - I build sites regularly and would work with you to build yours if you wanted. EvilEgg is lacking in content because I do a better job of websites than I do of unity projects that and I stopped doing any unity development after my son was born and I’m now at the stage where I can find more time to develop, and so that what I’m now doing - and the site will be updated in due course to promote stuff
Mine is here (the one dedicated to games, at least): Holoville games (did it by myself, but I’m also a web-designer).
About advices, I believe that being clear and simple is the most important thing in a website, and for a games website pictures and videos are also super-fundamental. For pure marketing pages, Vlambeer created a nifty tool to create them and add them to your site: presskit.
I built my own, and it shows. There are services like Weebly out there that do a lot of the heavy lifting for you though if you’re not into rolling your own.
I had the site built professionally by these guys, and I would recommend them: http://www.smartflexsolutions.com They got it up and running quickly and know their stuff. They have a bunch of different pricing options depending on what features and level of customization you need and I would say their rates are reasonable for the quality of work they do. I wanted a professional grade site that had some key features (some of which I won’t activate until closer to our product launch such as the user forum), but I don’t have the spare time to code it myself and make it look good while still working on my game.
