Basically go on templatemonster.com have a look through the magento & other e-commerce templates available. Find one you like.
Next go on elance.com post a job for free listing that you want to have a magento/other template customised, list your maximum budget.
The designer may require you to buy the template, but sometimes they can build a new one from scratch based on what you have chosen or offer an existing one they may have for free.
You will usually be contacted by 20 companies within 24hrs to choose from, look at their portfolios, feedback etc and decide who you want to work with.
For domains and hosting go with hostgator, but if you in the UK, LCN are good also, offering great customer service.
Once the site is built get someone reliable to do your SEO work.
Wishing you all the best with the project.
