Although, it does depend on the client in question. I don't think, contrary to popular opinion, that this situation is unique to web design, other professionals go through the similar turmoils.

Although if you work in a small city, getting a website done in two weeks with little trouble is next to impossible. In fact, I'd say in my five years in said small city (approx. 200,000) the average website takes 1-3 months. The majority of small business owners see marketing as something secondary to their business and thus don't give it the attention it deserves. Also, you can try and teach your clients the entire industry (if you want to waste your time), but 9 times of out 10 they don't care what you do, how you do it, or how long it takes. They want their website now and for nowhere near what it is worth. From a small firm, our average sites range in price from $3,500 to $5,500 and we are hands down the most expensive in the region. Usually by a few grand. It's sad really. I wish you the best in your endeavours. I just wish it went as well as described above. ha ha. Cheers! Good points.
