But that's because <strong>I do so much more than just design websites</strong>. I have a vast knowledge of business development and marketing and how they translate to the internet. So I'm more of an educator, coach and consultant who also knows web development and how to leverage all those skills to build a business. So even the $300 (or $800 for that matter) website owner will at some time want to actually learn how to build their business. That's where I come in. I think in general, though, you have a great point. But not only at the $300 level. With WordPress themes and the Pages function, people can easily create attractive sites for almost free. So think the general web design industry is going to go through quite a flux in the coming few years. I've been really rethinking the need for a static website for business growth in the first place. Boy, the blogosphere sure makes things fun, huh? Chris M

I mean, I've worked with web designers who offer a basic 5 page static site for a flat rate of, say, $700-800, but now I, a web-marketer, can undercut them and offer a WordPress package for, say, $300 and laugh (maniacally, of course) because it would only take me maybe 5-6 hours of work.

And I'm at the will of my clients. He wanted a clear, simple banner that didn't take away from his copy. I know he's planning on adding some photos and other imagery at his leisure. Certainly.

I took a quick look at the site you designed and was disappointed not to see any imagery on there. I think you could really lift it by bringing it to life a bit and showing a photo or two.
