Client: How much is a website?

Me: There’s not really a good answer for that. I mean, how much is a car?

Client: Cars? What? No. We need a web site. That’s why we brought you here.

Me: I understand that. Well, the last site I did came in around $1500 – under my quote, I might add.

Client: Oh wow. That’s way beyond our budget. Ridiculous. How much would it be for say, half that so you can teach us while you build it and we can do the other half?

Me: How much is half a car?
