"you are paying for my expertise"

"if i charged you by the hour only, your cost would be monumental"

"you are getting more than a website (pretty design on the screen). you are getting a complete product (development, seo, 24-hour advertising, etc.)"

this is common, but one thing i don't do is breakdown a dollar amount for each and every thing. i do, however, provide a breakdown of what i did after the job is done. a nice long list of all the steps i took, large and small, usually seals the complaining mouth when the money is due.
