A site with static pages? I assume you're talking about a "brochure" site. Shouldn't be more than RM1500. Also depends on the quality of your work and what other extras you provide (SEO, copywriting/editing, XHTML/CSS compliant etc etc).
How much would
YOU pay?
If I'm the biz owner, I'll not just want a site that looks good ... I want a site that SELLS! (top notch copywriting, top notch headlines, usability, accessibility etc etc)..... GRAPHICS DON'T SELL, WORDS DO! (that's y the best copywriters earn a bundle)
But fortunately I'm not your client hahaha. Anyway, you should find out abt your client's expectations.
