This type of thing is what I've been quoted for.</p>



But is it just a glorified advert ?</p>

 

400 quid for that??

</p>

Think of it as being like buying Barry Conlon for £7m</p>

 

am sure i could something like that up for you if u tell me what you want on it and where etc.

 

RE: 400 quid for that??

£400 ... for that site is a TOTAL and UTTER rip off.

I could knock sommet like that up in a few hours.

Tony.

 

Cheers me owd.</p>



I'll have a serious think about tings innit.</p>

 

yeah, I'm getting that vibe.................

 

It's probably about

the going rate for a small business website. I've seen projects where its cost the client £1000s per page - but that's the nature of IT. </p>

You will be able to get it done much cheaper - I know some Indians who'd probably do it for £50. You could host a site like that for £20-30 a year.</p>

If the companies designs are good then it might be worth paying this much. Really depends on the quality. That example you showed looked poor IMHO though.</p>

 

RE: It's probably about

It would be fine if there was an element of design to it, but that sites clearly been knocked up with a template and you can get the same thing for about £100 easily.

 

Wasn't mr Hartog just pointing to another glasses shop

One that he quite liked, rather than a web site that had been done by the firm in question?

 

RE: Wasn't mr Hartog just pointing to another glasses shop

either way that site was created using a basic template and you can get similar things done for about £100 or less.

 

that vibe?

rampant rabbit?

 

RE: Wasn't mr Hartog just pointing to another glasses shop

The website I pointed to is similar to the one that the co. wants to do for me. That other opticians is one of their clients.</p>



Tell thi summat, this business malarkey's a reight game.</p>

 

chuff

If they get away with building summat like that, at them prices, and run a business on it then I am starting my own company. I could knock summat better up in 30 minutes.

1/2 hour * £400 = £800/hour
working part time, 4 hours*£800 = £3200 day.
3 days a week, dont want to over do it, 3*3200=£9600
working half a year, 26*£3200 = £249600 per year.

And I only have to build 624 websites a year.

Thats the business plan sorted, Id better hand my notice in and Im in the money.

 

seriously

As you may have gathered, does seem a pretty poor site for that sort of money. Im not sure what normal costs are for small static sites, we charge owt up to £750 day for top notch application development. But you get a lot more for your money than that. And I reckon even the poorest developer could build that in 1/2 a day.

Anyway, if people on here are offering their help, Id be tempted to go with that. Then get some cheap hosting, 1and1 are ok and cheapish. If you are struggling drop me a pm and will try to help.

 

Thanks all IT types.

One is having a think about one's options.</p>



Thanks again.</p>

 

RE: £249600 per year

I know it sounds a lot, but you've got to remember that that's before tax.
