$12/hr for a living-at-home-with-Mom-and-Dad highschooler to slap up a
web site in Frontpage (using a warez'ed copy, of course) sounds about
right.

A professional who understands what is going on and how to solve the
little nuances and funny quirks and can design in content flow and
organized layout is around $50+/hr. Adding in things like javscript page
controls, graphics development, etc run the cost up further.

Most small sites, under 10 pages, are typically around $1k for a well
designed site. Dynamically driven ones with massive updating and huge
database backends which require an application frontend to generate and
support can run hundreds of thousands (cnn.com, slashdot.org, etc).
