This thread is created to address the lack of value clients have towards web design/development projects. For example a NLer complained that a client asked him to develop a web site for music downloads which can also accept payments all for 10k! 10K! Seriously!
The average cost of a web site in US, based on my research, is $1000 i.e N170,000. Even if we consider the difference in the economic strength of Nigeria and the US, at least the average cost of a website should be N80,000. In fact based on the requirements of the aforementioned music site, the project should cost at least N120,000.
I have been involved in web development for 4 years now and even I struggle with this. Please I would like to hear your ideas, and experiences.

Wow.. Finally someone who shares my view. Recently my team was called up for a Web design contract. The client asked us to give them a breakdown of what it would cost (like step by step breakdown.. So annoying). Eventually we arrived at a price somewhat between 150 and 200grand. Guess what? These guys cried help like we were trying to rip them off. I just Cnt wrap around my head as to why they underestimate the process of Web development

That's because they can get it done cheaply elsewhere.

But don't you think that does who are ready to accept very low price for a project are shooting themselves in the long run? Because when they want to step up their game, so to speak, they would also find it difficult to negotiate decent fees for projects due to others who can do it cheaply.
