I so needed this. You have NO IDEA.
BG: Potential client asks for pricing list for a project, and then looks over my portfolio.
PC: I'd like the cheapest design package you have, and I want it to be similar to <this super nice website>.
Seraph: Ok, well, unfortunately that website you're looking at is actually <higher priced package>. However, I can go on ahead and if you are willing to take a bit of a hit on the details, I can do a middle road for you.
PC: WTF, what a ripoff! lemme look around some more at some of the other sites. that site doesnt look like it was that good anyways...
Seraph: Well, actually, it still involved a lot of work, and several stock photos needed to be purchased. Like I said though, I'm willing to work with you on it.
PC: Changed my mind. I want a site like this, <really REALLY professionally done website, that's not mine, for one thing>.
Seraph: ....Yeah. That's actually going to be above <highest priced package>. That's an insane amount of work there, and a LOT of time involved. You're also looking at quite a bit of custom coding. So, base cost, just even with a basic two page design (which you'll need, at MINIMUM the two pages done up), probably around $375.
PC: you're a f***ing liar and a cheat! I can get that done up at half the cost, probaly even less!!!!
Seraph: Well, you're actually in luck, I know who did that design, and how much that website paid for it.
PC: good. gimme their info, I'll just get them to do it instead of your stupid company.
Seraph: Here you go, their website is here, and they told me they were able to give them a very good deal on the work, actually.
PC: hahaha knew it. what did they charge them?
Seraph: Oh, they only charged them $60,000 for it.
