Hi,
Best can be a problem, as I never came across that.
Try http://www.cntry.biz
I'm making use of some of their services, and very good honest service.
Look at some of the projects at the bottom, really look nice (for me in anyway)

Not mybroadband forum. The website.
You can easily expect to spend at least R15 000 to R20000 for an amazing custom design. Bear in mind that is JUST for the design. Then you need to find a good front-end html developer to cut up the design PSDs and turn it into a well-coded static html template. You could easily spend another R20 000 on that. Then you have to find a good backend developer to take the static html template and turn it into a dynamic content managed website using a content management system. Depending on your requirements, complexity, etc you could be looking at another R20 000 to R30 000 for that.
Stay FAR away from any cowboy who claims they can do all 3 of these functions. They might think that they can, but they can't. I can guarantee you if try to cut corners by getting the same person to do all 3 your website will fail. A truly successful website build requires dedicated specialists to do design, front-end, and back-end. The level of skill required these days to truly master all 3 disciplines means that it is impossible for one person to be a true master of all 3.
Think of it this way, would you trust someone who claimed to be a qualified doctor, engineer and lawyer all wrapped into one? I'm sure you wouldn't, yet everyday people trust their website projects with cowboys who claim they can design AND build the front-end AND develop the back-end.
Horse cabbage, you can of course be a master of front end and back end, especially when you are just developing and calling a RESTful API from the front end.
I agree that most likely that person would not be able to also be a very good designer though, but that is obvious, left and right brain usually don't mix, unless you are Leonardo de Vinci

@deweyzeph,
You can't make claims like that. Yes, you can make claims that sway in that direction, but you can never say for sure. The three roles can communicate with one-another. They relate, and one cannot function without the other, unlike your example of doctors, engineers, and lawyers.
However, I agree with your intention. To have a truly amazing website, it is best to work with a firm where different tasks are delegated in an A-B-C process approach. To have the three different aspects worked on by specialists for those respective aspects is indeed the best route to take.
Side note: small businesses will always take the route of finding one person, or a two-man team to design develop their website, simply because it can be inexpensive. They just want to get out there, and don't need masters to achieve that. Once a company grows, then they can start looking for the three roles separately. But, I believe that those three roles must be found in one firm, because they work together to bring about the best end-result possible.
One more side note: I may not be a master of the three roles, but have been referenced as very good at front-end and back-end development. As for design, I could do much better, and generally start something and do the rest with the help of a colleague. This helps my colleague understand the direction I want to take, and I get to learn a few things whilst I'm at it.
@_kabal_: Love the work on the Wetherlys site. Pity they shut down though...

They really need to learn how to use WordPress properly. I can only imagine that they're using a whole bunch of insecure plugins, and probably don't update often enough.
Meh, this is why I don't like WordPress.

Bahahahaha, not too big or fan of WordPress either. That's why for that free software blog I use the bare minimum version of WordPress with no plug ins and it's just the blog, the website is "handcoded"
