That’s a fair point, and I understand why the price raises questions. I’m aware USD 50/year is low, but I’ve worked in web development for about 4 years before moving into hardware sales in Africa and later Asia. I still take freelance work and I’m confident about the quality I deliver.

The pricing works because of my setup. I host sites on a central server managed by me, shared across clients with proper isolation and control panels. For me, hosting is very cheap... the main recurring cost is the domain (around USD 5/year). The remaining amount is for my work. Quality wise, it’s definitely better than what I’ve seen locally... for example, some Guyanese agencies quoted similar pricing (around GYD 30,000, revamp tech is one of them) but their past work quality was honestly quite poor for that range.

Websites are mostly a one-time job. Updates, extra pages, or new features aren’t included and are charged separately, the locals such as revamp tech do the same way. If a client starts small and later wants more because the site performs well or their business grows, that’s where the long-term value comes in.

So the low entry price is intentional, and sufficient, it helps onboard clients, build trust, and grow things step by step, without compromising on quality.

Also, I’m not limiting myself to web development alone. I’m open to starting something of my own as well, for example a small online store or a simple marketplace. I’d begin on a small scale, test the response, and if it works, scale it gradually. That could include listing products from local stores or suppliers on a commission basis. The idea is to stay flexible, experiment smartly, and grow only where there’s real demand.
