This is my first post on WebmasterWorld, but have been reading the many useful posts here for a while.
I've done a few searches for the relevant info but can't decide which package to use.
I'm in the process of setting up a web development company and my first client (site complete) requires a monthly and quarterly report on the visitor statistics for the site.
I need a relatively cheap software package that can produce nice looking (preferably with ability to add my logo/desigh) reports in html format and possibly MS Word.
The reports should have a glossary/help card for the client to understand what they are seeing.
I will be charging a fee to the client(s) for this service, but at present I cannot justify the Expense of Webtrends or similar.
Does anyone have any recommendations of packages that offer good reporting functionality within the $100 - $300 price range.
I've looked at Surfstats and its almost there, and i've also looked at the free ones such as Analog but find they do not suit my requirements.
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are going to be plenty of replies to your post I'm sure, with many different solutions. My personal preference is called WebLog Expert. Under $100, produces a nice report, uploads it to the web and has a built-in scheduler. Just do a search for Weblog Expert and you can read all the details. Good luck!
I checked out weblog expert and found it to be pretty good but difficult to customise the reports and no help card's on the report.
In the end I stumbled on Funnel Web analyser by Quest which despite being free seems to have everything I need.
It can be scheduled to produce & upload (ftp) html,rtf & pdf reports, has nice looking graphs and help cards. The html reports use templates so it is possible to brand the reports (a bit fiddly)
It also has an active user forum and good documentation so all in all i'm delighted with it and it didn't cost anything! (no restrictions AFAIK)
