This is the problem, people underestimate the work that goes into it and as such think they are being overcharged.
exactly, on the escort site, we spent over 3 months developing the website, and making constant iterations to the website. As well as countless hours on the phone having discussions with the client which all had tobe paid for.
People dont realise we are not building these sites for the fun of it, but to earn a living. In exactly the same way that if you was to buy some car parts of a bedroom trader on here, you would expect to pay less than you would if you were to purchase from a trader.
The biggest problem with website design, is there is very little in terms of middle ground. I always try and keep a site build costs as low as I physically can, whilst keeping quality as high as possible. Unfortunately most of my work is tied by a NDA which prevents me using them as examples and as such I am always looking for potential clients who will allow me to use them as an example for a lower payment. I am currently building one such site which would have easily cost 10x the amount it is costing my client due to this exact reason.
