They think that making an app or a website doesn't take too long. They throw weird looks when I tell them how much we charge for a website, and they think we are being too expensive, but in reality we are amongst the cheapest solutions in the industry. Yes, I understand that the final product of a single webpage with a 500$ price tag may sound expensive, but in reality people don't realise the amount of work behind it. Trust me, I'd love to make your 1-million-dollar web/app idea, but I just don't have the time!
