Bob has researched several Web design sites to make comparisons.  Because Bob's designs are based on the idea that "fancy" is not necessarily better (even though it costs a lot more), he is able to charge at least half, and even much less, what other Web designers charge.  So the following information is provided to simply compare average "big-time" design fees with Bob's "small-time" fees.  Big timers get as much as $10,000 and up (way up) for their design work.  Bob's not saying they don't deserve it, but he does point out that the average person visits a Web site for easy-to-find information.  Yes, a modest Web site is refreshing these days.
