Many WP sites are so cleverly designed you can hardly tell it's a blog CMS. Where are you based? If it's London I can recommend some designers.
EDIT: For domain/hosting I (and others) recommend easily.co.uk - get the Linux package.Last edited by realityhack; 8 October 2009, 11:03. -
PrestaShop pretty much beats the pants off all of them.

And it's free, Looks great right out of the box, classy templates, etc.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
