$2,000 to $5,000 should get you real quality.

Not should. The company you visit in person, they charge thousand dollars than over internet because the company hire over 6 years experience web designer, it is highly professional manners. For an example, the school website is not high quality, its cost thousand dollars from the company.

Depends what you're looking for. For me $200-$3000

I personally would not pay over $5,000 for a website design.

It is ridiculous that companies as big as Ceonex charge upto $50,000 for a website, although they do quality work it is just too much to spend on a website.

Considering that where I live $50000 is the net income of the average individual for 20 years of work, I retain the right to consider that sum to be too much for a host's website design.

i am designer and i donot pay though, but i have charged max a $1000 for an design.

50 - 120 dollars ; templates cost less
