Default Is this worth 6k??

My stepfather paid a "professional" to create a website for him based on a book he wrote.

Maybe I'm out to lunch and I'm no website developer but, I feel strongly that he got ripped off. Despite using something called "fatcow" to host the site, he was charged $6000.00. He was even charged and extra $99 for the domain!!!

If you have a chance, please take a look and give me some opinions. How much should a site like this be worth? I'd like to hear some more feedback before I back up my stepfather (btw who's computer/web knowledge = 0) and confront this person.

As well, if any web developers out there are interested in recreating this site at a reasonable cost, please PM me and I can forward my stepfather's contact information. He is willing to cut ties with this guy and start from or near scratch.

Stepdad's site:

http://www.onqbookpublishing.com/

This is the developer's website...not impressive either:

http://www.solarismarketing.ca

Thanks
