I built my own with DW for years, when a HTML website was fancy enough ;)
Now I am in the same situation as you are - I took down my website a few months back with the intent of redesigning in AE/Fl, and it's still empty.
The last month I've been looking at graphic designers and templates everywhere, and I did not like anything I saw on the web. The main issue is that I want a custom website, not a template. And it's hard to find a designer you like.
Finally I found one that seems to be what I am looking for: Promise Tangeman Creative
PROMISE TANGEMAN CREATIVE - homepage
I just sent them an e-mail this evening, so keep your fingers crossed for me, that I may have a new website soon :)
Will let y'all know how it goes!
