I’ve expanded that comment into an entry here and put a bit more thought into it.  It boils down to a trade-off between speed of implementation and cost of maintenance, which is a topic that is well understood in some contexts and I feel that it applies here too but is lost in the noise of language wars.

The first 'designer' I met said Rs25000/-!!!!.....I fled. The second fellow said Rs12000/-...I stil fled but this time I was thinking...why and how did the price come down. Things were in limbo till I met good old Jojo who was running a 'computer institute'with 5 coms and two ex-students as tutors. He gave the mantra-Learn Dreamweaver, flash and photoshop just enough to make a working website. My neibours kid was studying at Arena Multimedia, I borrowed a few books, rented jojo's wreck of a com for Rs1,000/- and sat down with kids half my age and taught myself just that. My site geocities.com/raghusworld was hosted in 10 days. 15 others followed before I got fed up.The kid who was in arena...he is still studying.
