A friend showed me his new website and it's complete SHIT. The web design company charged him $5,000, and it's nothing more than a Wordpress theme with very minor (if any) modifications.
That sounds like a lot for a standard brochure page with no database, ecommerce, SEO, etc. Back when I was doing mainstream sites back in the 90's and early 2000's, I never charged more than $2,000 for a site, and even then got some price resistance.
What's the going rate for a standard 20 page no bells and whistles websites these days? If you own a mainstream web firm, what do you charge? If you can get away with charging $5k these days, I know what business I'm getting back into!
