Hi Craig,
It does depend on how you plan on load testing. If you are going to go the whole hog and simulate a variety of user scenarios performing different functions on the site you will need a tool to assist.
These can be extremely expensive as in £30k + with companies such as HP Loadrunner, QA Load, and Rational Performance Tester and you may need the services of a consultant to assist and they dont come cheap.
Your other option is to use http://www.opensta.org/ which is an open source performance testing tool that shouldnt take all that long to learn how to use.
If you do go with consultants I would suggest http://www.acutest.co.uk/
Hope that helps
Cheers
Rowan
