The other issue is that some people find reason to underestimate website work because they make the argument “Oh that can be done with tool easily” or “that should only take 10 minutes”.

I wonder if this has happened to you or anyone else. A client explains they want pages a certain way, you tell them a price and they balk at it because they know of plugins or tools that can build pages to their liking and thus, the price should be lower, not understanding it's more than just moving blocks of data around.

And then on the other end of the spectrum, it also has to be said that most sites don’t need to be anywhere close to visually stellar. Ugly sites can get the job done, which is a sobering, slightly depressing thought.

Shhhh, don't say that too loud.
