Halleluia! Someone gets it out there.
Here's an article explaining that paying $10,000 per web page is an accurate number. That may seem shocking to a lot of people. Yeah, your cousin can make a site for you, but would you hire your cousin to do a TV commercial for you? The web is JUST as important as that.
If you do your web site (read: marketing) wrong, you're losing money because the web is often the first impression of your company. If you really do it right, you'll get return on your investment.
I work at a web site design and development company. Honestly, if we had serious clients willing to pay $10k per page, they would get an amazing site. It takes time to do research. I wish we could do more focus groups, but nobody ever goes for that option. Focus groups would tell everyone SO much. The final product would be so different because of that. There would even be resources to do some pretty unique promotion, too.
Maybe in 10 years, people will realize this.

I just listed a bike a bought from my friend on eBay. I was not impressed with their interface.
Frst of all, when you're in the "My eBay" page, where is the link to list an item? You think they'd want you to post things (since that's how they make money), but there's no link. What the heck? Then, when it's uploading pictures, you get no note to wait for this to happen, the page just sort of stops while this happens and you get a warning when you click the button again that images are not done uploading. And there are WAY too many options for a listing. Make it easy, would ya?
Ok, so maybe I had a bad day today and just wasn't up for dealing with bad interface design. But this is eBay, people.... you know, probably one of the most popular sites on the web besides Google. You'd think they would have it more together than that.
If you're looking for a Specialized Mountain Bike, check out my auction!

Yes, we all love Google. Hey, they even just launched a video
download service the other day. The web and video are starting to
colide... just as I planned. Anyway, I found some information that
explains how Google works. If you've got some time, check it out.
