- an average quality article costs around 30-50 bucks or more...sure you can get them for 10 but then you get some pakistani made text or text with low amount of words.
- even if you hire people to make the texts it costs a huge amount of time to instruct those people, to do the text-check, to finetune them, to insert in on the websites, to discuss them with your client and so on. same with the design, even if it are standard wordpress themes, filling a site always costs time..and always takes longer then you expect.
So, for exampleif i create a site with 10 pages, it cost me 10x40=400 for text, 50 for wordpress template, 150 for implementation/setup. thats already 600. so lets say i cost 75 dollar an hour and it takes me 10 hours per sites to finish it all. thats another 750. But ok, if you are located in some eastern europe country you can probably get away with 10 dollar an hour, but still... its not only about the basic costs, its also about time spend and things like that.
But ok, i agree that the prices are huge based on the info provided....i think he has better chances to show all urls openly, so people can make serious calculations...as now people just have to guess the quality...
but ok, he is free to do whatever he want of course...
