This is something that has always puzzled me!
How can you give a set price on something when you don’t know what needs to be done?

For example:
You might get one customer who wants 2 pages or another who wants 10.
You might get a very difficult customer who wants to change pages constantly.
What if the client wants 10 images per page or half a book on each page.

I have seen lots of prices on the internet for 2 pages for X amount 10 pages for X amount. I have even seen e-commerce for 1999.00 dollars

Because web design is do dynamic it's almost imposable to give a single price.

That’s like saying you will sell a car for 10,000.00 euro with the following features:

  • 4 Wheels
  • Engine
  • Windows
  • Steering wheel

This could be anything from a Ferrari to a Mini. God help you if the customer wants the Ferrari
