Mainstream Design - Why Don't People Have A Clue About Costs?
Just got off the phone (Yes, we work on Sundays) with a potential client wanting to get a jiu jitsu site online, around 20 pages, a little custom programming needed for a contact / lead generation form plus 12 months hosting and a domain name, realistic cost in the region of $1500-2500 based on the high amount of graphics they wanted.
Asked what their budget was for this and the guy turned around and said $100.
Why don't business owners in mainstream / bricks & mortar world understand the value of web design?
Turned around after explaining to him why the costs involved were significantly higher than what he wanted to pay and told him he should get a template, and he went off saying he has a template now and its not working for him in the search engines...
I just don't get cheap asses, especially when their website is going to be the primary point of contact for their businesses.
