$500-$750 for a hobby, you gotta be joking. To the person who said they dont think airlines would spend that much, is wrong, they spend more, because they want a better product and are usually custom made, or use asp.net, which requires windows hosting which costs a lot, and the licencing of the SQL server is a lot too, they also pay a lot for a dedicated server too. You are talking a couple of grand for what airlines want. @OP Your site is the most important, make and finish your site before you do anyone elses, that is how you sell yourself. If people see a bad web site for a web designer, they dont really want to go to him for a web site. Especially if they charge a lot for just a template, which is primarily html.
