A web site is not a cheap thing to do - properly. Judging from the design of the site, your step father could have probably got a better designer involved, but overall it looks pretty solid.
It's extensive for a simple brochure site, includes facebook and paypal integration and even has some nice Flash animations to liven it up.
Theorhetically someone could have whipped up a pathetic site based on a template for a fraction of the cost, but it still would have run 1200-3000$ at minimum. Keep in mind that these things have to be tested across 4-5 different browsers which is usually the largest chunck of the development cost (well it should be...).
I'd say your step-father did alright, especially if the company is doing some online marketing as part of the deal. The code/CSS looks pretty solid to me. Decent quality -- just lacking on the design aspect but it's not that bad.
