What Makes a Website Worth $10K

Most websites get priced by how long they took to build. The ones that sell for real money get priced by what they're worth to the business running them — and that's a completely different number. This is the story of one that landed at $10K, and what actually justified it.


It Wasn't About More Hours

The build wasn't ten times longer than a cheap website. It was built around a handful of details that mattered to the client specifically — the kind of thing a $500 site never bothers to include, and the kind of thing that makes a business owner say yes without negotiating.

Price follows value, not effort. Once you build for value, the number changes.
