What is an affordable business website? Clearly that will vary quite a bit. Affordable to a Fortune 500 company is not affordable to a house painter or electrician. That's stating the obvious is it not? Then why do web designers charge a standard rate for a website regardless of who is purchasing it?

I had a craftsman that makes patio furniture tell me that they were quoted $10,00 for a simple business website with a small check out system involved. I said, well that is the going rate, but they are not looking for you as a client. they are looking for the client that can pay the most. It's a numbers game. They figure they have to do the same work regardless of who is buying.

But that is a weird way to approach it. Because you can automate many of the design processes, reducing the time it takes to do such a simple site. this way you can create a small business websites for the small business owner that cost under $5000.

Site O Rific has taken this to an extreme with $750 websites that are as good as anything up to $5,000. No kidding, just call around locally and see what they offer. The $750 website (if they have one) will be really embarrasing! And with Site O Rific, you do not to pay 50% up front, only $150. It's a win win.
