$32,000 for a 4 month project for a small government department. Out of that I had to pay a programmer and hosting/basic maintenance for their first year. Difficult people to work with because it took them forever to make decisions, so I will seriously consider not doing a government project again. Some projects are not worth the hassle, I have fired several clients since I learned from the government project. Excellent communication and having an active decision maker is paramount to completion of big projects.
