(the meeting)

I've had a non-IT world colleague ask me to build a website, I asked if it's a static website like resume etc with no database & stuff. I quoted $1000 if that's the case since that's minimal maintenance
He goes he needs a simple website, like eBay to sell his products. Also need features like Amazon, integration of various payments. And this and that.

For $1000 !!

I felt good that he thinks I can make an e-commerce site but f¢k that thinking man.. I told him to hire a freelancer and told him about few sites.

Maybe we'll see a thousand dollar e-commerce site, haha I only hope the payments part is secure 😂😂 I ain't buying anything anyways. I'm 99 % sure nobody's gonna do it and next time we talk, he's gonna be like 1000 and a 50 haha

    Uh, you know you don't have to do it from scratch? If his needs are small scale, a WordPress installation with web shop plugins could be enough. Or even some ecommerce service that lets you build a few additional static pages and a news reel.

    Can't he just use an eBay storefront or something?

    @bremen242 He possibly can, but he's looking to save eBay's cut. Says it's too much.
