Thatโs either a professional level dad joke, or holy wow, does he not know how much you make?
That said, Iโll build anyone a website for ยฃ500, no matter how large. But thatโs the base model. Itโll be a template taken from a catalog, and Hugo. My maintenance fees are only ยฃ250 per hour.
Itโs a pretty good racket. My friends boss saw us building ourselves a site one time when he let us use his shop on the weekend and he got intrigued.
So as payment for letting us use the machine shop we took over his business website from some expensive marketing company that charged a ton we got him down to a domain and a basic weebly plan. We took photos of the shop and just used their shop colors for the text and slapped on all the contact info he wanted.
Then his bookkeeper saw his site and wanted one so we did the same for her, then her son saw the site and wanted one for his friend whoโs a plumber. Next thing you know we are turning down jobs because everyone and their mother wants a $500 website from us haha. It became a better business than what we borrowed the machine shop for to begin with
