[Lnc-business] website motion

[Kevin Ludlow]

Scott,

No.  I have gone out of my way to try and minimize the cost as best I can.
For an organization like ours to spend only $20,000 on a website is already
beyond ridiculous.  Did I not mention that local theater company I work
with that I pointed you to spent $15,000 on theirs.  They put on occasional
avant-garde shows; we nominate the president of the united states.  I guess
it's about the same thing.

Frankly, I'm a little insulted that I gave a detailed reality about the
cost of this kind of work, have heard nothing back, and now the request is
"how do we get equal value for lower cost?".  We don't.  I provided
real-world numbers.  I wouldn't be able to pay my newest 24 year old
employee over $100k/annually if this work didn't cost a lot.  It costs a
lot because there is a great deal of work that goes into doing it right.
Maybe you could point me to a place where I can get an x-ray taken for a
grand total of $10.

When you do it on the cheap, it looks like it's done on the cheap.  It
misses the point of having it done in the first place.  I guess it would at
least be consistent, but I was really hoping our group wanted to change the
glaring hole.

On that note though, if the pulse on the group is just to do it cheaper
than it would really help me out if people would just say that.  I'm
putting in time making calls, ensuring that I have firms lined up, ensuring
they have designers ready to go, etc.  I would really prefer not to spend
my time doing all of that if the effort is just to do it cheaper or not at
all.
