Hi Kimh, NO I do not know what I am talking about, I am completely ignorent. Read my whole post, then answer accordingly.
@Kevinb asked what he should pay for a website (No other info). I for sure do not want him to run into 80% of the SA services where they are going to charge him R5000-00 to R20000-00 for a 5 Page site, then add R1000-00 for his domain and to top it ask him R100-00 to R200-00 PM for hosting. I also would not want to see a person paying R1000-00 to R5000-00 for a wordpress CMS with a free template and no plug-in licenses
When I am networking, I am shocked time and again at what people get charged, then to top it their sites do not even come close to getting any traffic.
One example: A furniture company contacted me the other day, they have paid R25k PA total R50k for the last 2 Years for their website, where they were gaurenteed 80 clicks per Month!!!! Again a simple 5 page site with one product page (Photo Gallary) The site was not even properly indexed. Geeeez with R25k 5page site I will gaurentee at least 500-1000 monthley Targeted visitors.
It is simple people in our Country get ripped off everywhere and believe me when those trained sales people sit in front of their target, they can sell sunshine to you.
Another example: One person was ready to buy pages from xxxx top provider the other day at R2500-00 per Month. I contacted them on behalf of this person, they could not give me any keywords they are going to target for this persons business niche nor could they gaurentee organic traffic from google... Ripp off galore.
