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?

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.
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?

This already happened I wasn't involved at the time. Just trying to confirm externally that this was a waste of money.
It doesn't matter if it was a waste of money, then

It's water over the bridge at this point
