Dude that is a TERRIBLE DEAL.... think about it.

Your average sales are $41,500 per year. That means you are bringing in $3458 per month. Why would you give that up to make $750 per month while doing the exact same work you're doing now?

Don't sell your site - keep it and keep working at it. You'll be much happier.

Offer to make a site for him for his $15k down payment and then sell him your webmaster services for $750.00 a month. He will be getting a good deal AND you get to keep your site and your current monthly cash flow.
