I've been making guild websites for guilds on WoW for years and I do the graphical part of it. My fiance does the coding portion. For me, I can't stand Shivtr. It has very little in the way of easy graphic placement and if you make custom images, they have to be perfectly fitted. Enjin, which is what my FC's website is right now (mind you, I've been away for half a year so my website's trial expired. Website is a bit gimped currently), seems to be my favorite. I made animated images for the sides that looked like flickering lamps and I have glow effects in places. I was never able to achieve the same effects with a Shivt site. Guildlaunch is ok, but I still don't like it nearly as much. (http://thecatsmeow.enjin.com/)
Now with voice applications, I would actually suggest Teamspeak. People will rag on it, but it actually has the best voice quality despite it being the most unpopular of the clients. My fiance worked for Microsoft for a long bit and they used it because of the clarity and lack of lagging in the client. Vent's quality is awful and the lag time between talking and receiving is quite terrible.
I hope this helps!
