"Why Most Agencies Overpay for Average Websites"
Launched my AI agency site last week (https://melonaii.framer.website/) and something interesting happened. People started reaching out—not for AI services, but asking if I could build websites like mine for their agencies. 3 inquiries this week alone just from seeing the design quality. This made me realize how broken the web dev industry pricing is. Here's the reality: Most traditional developers charge $2,000 to $5,000 for basic WordPress sites with: - 3-4 week timelines - Endless revision rounds - Clunky backends you can't update yourself - Hidden fees for "extra features" Meanwhile, using modern tools like Framer and Go High Level, I can deliver: ✅ Custom animated websites✅ AI chatbot integration✅ Mobile-optimized, fast-loading✅ Delivered in 3-5 days✅ Easy for you to update yourself All for around $500 with zero upfront payment. You approve everything first, pay only when satisfied. Why the huge price difference? Traditional devs code everything from scratch (30-40 hours). I use efficient platforms that handle the technical heavy lifting while I focus on design and conversion optimization (5-8 hours). Same quality output. 80% less time. Savings go directly to you. The people reaching out aren't stupid—they see the quality-to-price ratio doesn't add up with what they've been quoted elsewhere. If you've been quoted $2K+ for a website and it feels like highway robbery, it probably is. There are better, faster, more affordable ways to get premium results. For anyone interested in what modern web development actually costs when someone isn't milking every hour, happy to chat. Not here to spam—just here to show there's a better way that doesn't drain startup budgets.
