I think you are going down the wrong road here. Let me tell you from experience that I have done the low end web design thing for cheap clients and it really stinks. They end up wanting the $5,000 dollar site that is listed at the top of the search engines and pulls in tons of inquiries and orders, but they want to pay no more then a $200 for the whole thing.

These people are trouble from the word go. They will always be demanding more, new designs, saying they don't like it, etc. Now you can tell them at this price you get X, but let me be the first to tell you that they will be the first one to tell 500 of their closest friends to never use you because you rip people off.

With all the "templates" for $50 on the web and all the "design it yourself" services already offered by the hosting companies I think the cheap low end client is well served.

Your best bet is to go for the high end client who appreciates having a well designed site with excellent content and great service. You do that for the right clients and you have a business.

I have some low end clients right now that trust me when I say when the job is done I am telling them that I can't provide service and turning the headache over to someone else. Maybe someone like you who wants to deal with these type of clients.
