Re: PRICING

Evening:

No, your stated figure was *not* too much. Matter of fact, we think it was
too cheap for what you outline. It is 1/3rd of what we would have used as a
starting point for a basic Web site.

The LG's (List Guides) frown on discussing prices on the list. But, you can
get a range of exposure surfing around and visiting other designer's sites
that discuss figures.

Here is an excellent resource called "Net Marketing":
