Joes resaurant would never pay a designer 2k to do his website. Sue the sluts new adult site would. There is no comparing the two.

you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.
Joe's Resturant will pay *far* more than a mid level adult player.. I can get a site done here for $300-500 no problem whatsoever. In mainstream clients don't have the instant buyer's market with romanian and college kid downward pressure on prices, and a dozen guys in their bedrooms underbidding each other 5 minutes after a job thread has been posted. The average small business website is around 1-2k, mid around 5-10k and large anywhere from 10-100k and that doesn't take into account hugely inflated hosting costs, domain reselling and other things that mainstream businesses make cash on that adult designers can't make off webmasters.
The only very cheap thing in mainstream is when clients are charged for one of those single page directory "sites".
Mainstream clients pay more for logos than adult clients pay for whole sites with logos..
The average adult site is around 600-800 with a logo and everything. 1k is high in adult, designers here would kills each other for a shot at a 2k job.
