Quantity, Quality ... Irrelevant.

Phone call from a while ago: Not Me: "You guys do websites right?" Me: "Yes we do actually." Not Me: "Okay, can you give me a round-about estimate for a website, it will probably have a couple hundred pages." (?????) Me: "Um, well, what exactly is the site for?" Not Me: "... well, I’m not really sure to tell you the truth." Me: "ummmm ... Okay, well, we do a couple different types of websites here, we do smaller static websites which are basically just informational websites, and we do larger dynamic websites with more functionality that you may need." Not Me: "Well, I don’t know what all of that means, I don’t understand any of it, but I do understand money, so if you could give me even just a guess, an estimate of what it would cost to do a site like this that would be great." Me: "Well, a small to medium site with average functionality can be in the 3-5000 dollar range depending on what you're looking for, if you’d like I could email you some samples of sites we have developed and maybe you could take a look at them and see if there is something similar to what you are looking for." Not Me: "Well ... um, I don’t actually have an email address that I can use, my Internet is not working right now because my modem is broken." It ended with me telling her a bunch of websites we developed, one at a time, spelling them out: "w-w-w-dot-dayspas-dot-com ... no no ... it’s dayspas, with an S at the end ... no it’s not for a lady who owns a day spa in Estero ... yes, that’s right, with an S." Synopsis: A few hundred pages, no idea what for. A summary of what would the conversation would have probably been like had I chosen a different career: Not Me: "Yes, could you give me an idea of how much it would take to construct a building?" Me: "Certainly, what size and kind of building would you like us to build." Not Me: "Oooooh, I dunno, haven’t thought that part out yet ... but how much you think?" Me: "Well, that really depends, could be a small 2 bedroom house, or it could be a 53-storey skyscraper with a parking garage, a rooftop swimming pool and a dog spa." Not Me: "Yeah, well I don’t really understand what that means ... but, how much?" *click* ... *SLAM* *SLAM* *SLAM* Stupid phone.
