Rough cost for a site design with backend admin?

[Phaser]

I'm looking for someone to design me a website, also with a backend system so I can add/update pages and content.

I know a little html and CSS and I probably could attempt something but I just don't have the time, and it is something which needs doing properly.

No content would have to be entered - I could do all that as long as the backend system works fine.

It will be for an online radio station, so I would like to be able to add things such as recorded sets, videos, artist interviews etc.

I've had a look on the net for a few sites which would be similar to what I want and i've found the following:

www.urbantingz.com - However i'm not sure if that is sort of "one big forum" as it looks kind of that way...

Also how much would I be looking to pay? I have my own domain, webspace etc, just need the design and backend system.

Hmmm, any advice/suggestions appreciated.

That site looks like it uses PHP Nuke or another cms id recommend using a cms for your site and then just getting someone to design a custom theme for it as this would mean you would already have all your code and your admin backend, which means it would work out cheaper for you

I'd wager something like Joomla or Xoops would be the best option here, then add a forum on and skin to the same design, unless you have a couple of thousand for a bespoke system

Will check those out - thanks for the suggestions.

So basically would they install some sort of backend system with a text field to fill out or would there still be coding etc to do?

Someone also reccomended Mambo CSS to me?

The backend will be installed as part of the CMS so it wouldn't need to be coded unless you needed the backend customized in some way.
