Why are all the downvotes on comments relating to the website cost? I thought it was pretty high as well when I read that, I mean sure you pay much more for peace of mind, but that's like a 100% markup. And the red on black text wasn't a great choice IMO.

Because those comments are pretty much content-free. "That large number! It's large! Since I, as a non-expert, can't imagine spending that much, the people involved must be idiots!"

If there were a comment from somebody who had built a similar site breaking down hours and dollars spent, that would be fine.
