I deal with mainstream small businesses. I'm doing nothing but Wordpress if / when I can. We don't start a project for under $1000 and most are much more than that.

Unless you're an old time webmaster or developer and know what's up, most people have the misconception that a website for their business will cost them upwards of $30k. I've had clients tell me they were quoted $25,000 for a simple shopping cart site for their home business. My father's company paid $20k 5 years ago for something someone here could design and develop for $2k and still make a profit on.

When you show someone who has no website management experience Wordpress and what it does they are usually more than impressed. Drop a $3k price quote on them and they love you.

If you're charging less, you're ruining it for the rest of us.
