I understand the thinking behind what you want to offer - but I'm not sure your approach will work. It's often the case that the less people pay the more they demand.

You can't say 'sorry, we've sold out of websites at that price' - people know websites are not a finite commodity!

You can, however, say websites from only $100, or whatever you have in mind. Present them with a form which adds up to $100.

Webhosting: None (I will provide my own)
Pages : One front page + one template
Contact : Direct mailto: link for email
Graphics : Please use my own logo
Content : I will supply this in plain text ready for use
Support : No support

Well, the idea is to give them a website for $100, but leave out all the things that cost time. And leave out some things which don't cost time but people feel are useful.

By the time they have customised the dropdowns you have:

Webhosting : 100Mb shared hosting (recommended)
Pages : 5 Pages
Contact : Online form (hides email address from spam)
Graphics : Template based design with logo and buttons
Content : Supplied by word document, please prepare for me
Support : Bronze (50% less than if bought separately)

Total: $1000 + $50/month support.

Take a look at Dell's 'offers'.
