Wasn't my package, but I would suggest that more than =A3600 for a =
simple
static site for a small client is uncompetitive!=20

=A3595 is a sensible price for a simple static site, and suits the =
budget of a
typical small static site client. If 3 days is allocated, that works out =
at
~=A328ph, which is fine for most freelancers outside London.=20

The client also can't expect proper SEO, copywriting, etc for that =
price.
Also keep in mind that there tend to be follow-on sale opportunities =
with
each client (MSA, hosting, domain/SSL sales, etc).

Obviously you wouldn't want *all* your projects to be static < =A31k =
jobs, but
they're fine as bread n' butter filler work.=20

Cheers, Ben
