It would cost him twice as much to get me to build that kind of expansive and complicated site in CF... probably three times that much if I had to build it in ASP.Net or PHP!
It really doesn't matter what you code it with... you just have to ask yourself if you're willing to do it for that amount... and that would depend on how hungry you are for business... and how many options your potential client has for getting the work done by someone else. If you're the only website builder he knows that he can meet face-to-face during the building phase and during the life of the site, he'll place a premium on that relationship... that's worth something, too.

Hi: Two days before I was talking about a project with a client. He wants a portal_like website that has at least 8 seperated Auction parts and some message boards and a complete Administration pannel. It has at least 18 dynamic parts (like; News, Job finder, Seminar Alerts ...) that the admin pannel controls. Plus 5 different templates for the parts and a Logo and flash intro. The price I suggested in the proforma invoice was about 3500$. Is the price fair? Please send me your idea about the price of such a website. The client asked me "why are you using Coldfusion and why don't you use ASP.Net or PHP?". Can you please send me a link that compared the major server side technologies that I show the client the big advantages of Coldfusion compared to others.
