So yes, she paid 10 times more than she should have.

For a project that size, I'd have charged:

£100-200 for the design
£100-250 for the build
£30 Hosting for 1 year
£2 domain registration

Total = £232 - £482

Yeah, that sort of thing.

"Design" is just a shorter description.

There wasn't really any design work done...unless you call dropping and dragging in FrontPage design?

£100-200?

Nah.

If I paid for the hosting and name I'd expect to have the design done for less than that.

Yes, if the fee was in the region of £100-200. Not the whacking great sum mentioned here! That's shocking Nids. Get your money back - you could find probably a dozen people on here that would do something similar for far less. A better standard too.

Is there such a thing as the Lebanese Mafia?

Seems alright and looks functional.

The amount paid was far too much though.

You've been scammed so bad.

Did you not get to see the site before she paid any cash? It's pretty shocking for that amount of money.

Yes like Tyla has said £250 max but then if anyone paid me that I would still do a far better job. I can't believe your mum paid that much, that's just insane.

OMFG!! Someone saw your mum coming. At most your only talking £250 for something on that scale.

Did the thought of previous work examples, portfolio, references cross her mind at all at any stage?

For god's sake cancel/with hold the payment.
