Web designers often way overvalue their services - they are generally a pure commodity.

Lots of that site is so-so. The SEO basics are about half done, the site doesn't disguise email addresses so the info@ email address is going to be a spam suck in no time (if not already) ...there's a typo in that on the contact page too BTW. There's no analytics installed, form capture etc - and way too much text on page.

The same site done very well by a top end firm would be 5k ish. You could get this done pretty well from a few dozen people in town for $1k-$3k depending on content development etc. If you looked for a guy out of his basement you could get the same as what is there for $500 using a $50 dreamweaver template - hehe ..or call rathji I see.

I should point out I'd agree with the others that without knowing who promised what and everything that goes on in the back end I'm only generalizing.
