I would not do it either. They are using flash. Flash might be more difficult for search engines optimisation. Might be difficult or impossible to be read on iphones/ipads, it is slow to load... Not my cup of tea.
Should you go through a Pro, make sure that he explains you how to update and add content yourself.
On my side, I learnt little by little the basics of HTML and CSS (all infos are on the web) and am very happy to be self dependent and have a website that "feels" who we are. It may not feel 100% professionnal but I can change it anytime for free. I am not a big fan of clean sanitized professionnal websites.
Edit:
Moved to the other thread more suitable....
wondering why "flash" makes it difficult for search engine optimisation?
.
Flash breaks web usability standards – Websites designed using Flash might look perfect, but visitors start to fall apart when they try to use them, since.
- They cannot use back button for navigation, as it is disabled.
- They will not be able to copy information such as addresses, phone number, etc.
- They cannot increase the font size to make the text more readable.
- They will also be not able to bookmark a page within the website.
Cross Compatibility Issues – It is very important that a website should work in any browser and platform on any computers. For e.g. Flash version 8 was only released for the Windows platform not for the Linux. However after one month, Flash 9 was released for Linux.
W3C Validation problems – World Web Consortium (W3C) is the primary web standards organization, which provides a free tool to ensure that HTML codes are syntactically correct. However, standard Flash object or files embedded in the current XHTML or HTML version does not validate correctly.
SEO Problems – Even though Google has collaborated with Adobe, some Flash information is often invisible to many other Search Engines like MSN, Bing, etc. Robots, small software used by Search Engines to scan a website, usually cannot process text embedded in Flash, since information hidden in graphic formats are difficult to find and process.
Website loading problem – Flash files, especially those using sound effect, bitmap images or embedded movies, can take more time to load the website that will decrease the number of visitors, since people just don’t sit around and wait.
And if that isn't enough, Apple products ie: iphone, ipads don't show flash
