My initial answer is "hell no" but on second thought I maybe need more context. As others asked, how much do I expect it to generate? How much do I have to play with? Am I a BigCo with an end of year departmental budget to burn?

Even then, 30k for a single page, which I assume is static, is kinda ridiculous. The only justification I can think of is very, very good design from an expensive design agency.

For the dev work we are talking paying someone $300 / hour for over 2 weeks. Seems out of my reality.

It wasn't

Then? You already know the answer: it’s unreasonable, period.

How do you know "It wasn't"?

Did it achieve its purpose?

Did it make more than it cost?

[ge96]

By good design I'm talking about aesthetics. A person with a few hours of basic html/css could build this site. In the end it literally was just a WP site with a $60 theme on it. Also turns out we host it so it was a one time cost deal.

[warrenm]

If it were that easy to build...why did you just have a "person with a few hours of basic html/css" do it?

Surely you had an intern who could've knocked this out in a week? Or yourself in an afternoon?

[ge96]

This already happened I wasn't involved at the time. Just trying to confirm externally that this was a waste of money.

[warrenm]

It doesn't matter if it was a waste of money, then

It's water over the bridge at this point
