I'm afraid I do not agree. Being honest, a really nice website can be done up in photoshop in a day or two, split and exported to HTML and put online. All well and good. But that's not web design or development. So much more has to be done. Accessibility and usability have to be taken into consideration. Have you any idea how difficult it is to get a nice looking site to conform to all three WAI levels, be intuitive, be browser tested, be user tested, be semantically sound and STILL look good?

Clearly not. No offense, but a "brochure" site is not an excuse for cheap workmanship. If you asked a printing company for a hard copy brochure for your business and it was handed to you on poor quality paper, printed off a dot matrix printer and stapled together then you would you feel your 2000 Euro was well spent? Did you really want that in the first place?

See what I'm getting at here?
