While I agree, I would say that $12k for a 5 page site (once again depending on the site) I definately pushing the boundries.
I did a project in school with an awesome team that went on to win national awards and received a fair amount of recognition. It took about 700 hours to build.
I learned a valuable lesson a long time ago at an interactive interview using this project as a showpiece. The employer (whom I went on to work for for 3 years) asked how long the project took. I said about 600 hours in total between the rest of the team. The employer told me, get it down to 150 hours and you would actually have a client willing to pay for it.
80/20 rule was learned very quickly that day.
That said, really good post!
