How much does a web site cost?
Well that is one loaded question. And we get it all the time,of course. My typical answer is “If your web site were a car, what kind of car would you want it to be?” They think, “well it would be a Porsche!” As they realize what a Porsche costs, I then usually get this reply. “Ok how much does a simple site cost.” I say “how much does a simple car cost”? I usually do not let it go any further because it is pointless. Sure, Eclipse will offer “web site packages” at certain prices just for those individuals who absolutely need to have some kind of price in mind.

Great analogy, I've been looking for a simple, but accurate way to explain what it cost for a website. Very time consuming having to explain what all goes into building a site with every potential client.
