Re:Ask HN: Should HTML5-based websites be more expensive? by ch0wn on Monday May 13, 2013 @10:37AM (#5698867)
What exactly do you mean by HTML5-based? The term is way too loose to make assumption about the effort or price. Do you mean using new APIs? Just changing the doctype and removing some slashes?

When a client asks for new APIs and more complex HTML5 specific features, it's clear and it's easy to explain why it could be more expensive. But if he/she asks "Develop me a website in HTML5 because I think XHTML is obsolete and has no future", the answer isn't so evident.
