One of the most common questions I get is “how much does a website cost?”. I always try to figure out what they want before I give any price, but this client couldn’t really formulate any clear idea, or provide any examples of anything that he liked or disliked, nor could he tell me what kind of features he wanted (blog, gallery, whatever). Let’s note that this guy works in construction.
Client: HOW MUCH DOES A WEBSITE COST! I want something nice and simple! How hard can it be to give me a price, it’s not rocket science!
Me: Let’s put it this way: how much does a house cost?
Client: Well what do you want? I can make a plain-level one-bedroom place with a small but open kitchen and living room, or I can make a larger 3-level home with a double garage, three bathrooms…
Me: I JUST WANT A HOUSE! How much does it cost? Why can’t you tell me? It’s not rocket science!
Turns out what he wanted was to have a domain point to his Facebook page.
