Web designers in Central Florida are charging way too much for simple web pages. They charge crazy amounts for such simple pages that a child could make in a week (if the child has DSL). If you just skip going to the local web designer and create the page yourself you could save thousands. All you need to create your own web design are very few. A good fast computer, a DSL internet connection, and a self explanatory book that you can get from the library.
Sounds pretty simple right? Then why do web designers charge so much for these simple pages? Because they can. The thought of having to do something new that they are not familiar with sounds way to burdensome for a lot of people. To everyone who's not too familiar with web design, "It's not that hard." Get yourself a book. Give yourself a solid afternoon. Save $ thousands.
