Website Design Flyer Throws Around $750 Price Like It’s Nothing
CHICAGO, IL — Citizens living in and around Lakeview were astonished to find flyers for a website design service posted throughout the neighborhood on Wednesday morning.
“This person wants $750 just to use Squarespace for like three hours,” Michael Toomie, 39, a marketing manager living in the area, told local news outlets, “The flyer looks awful too. Seeing the price of $750 on such a crappy little piece of paper was really jarring.”
The flyers indicate a phone number that interested potential customers can call which appears to belong to the creator’s personal mobile device. The advertisement is a mess of word art that feels even lazier than word art messes normally feel, printed on a standard piece of white printer paper that will inevitably wash away during the next rain shower. Although in recent years creating websites has become much easier and approachable for people who are untrained in coding, some experts still believe that posting a physical piece of paper on a light pole with a home phone number attached to it is the best way to reach people trying to build a website.
“It’s like, this flyer only shows me that this person probably doesn’t know how to use the internet,” Toomie continued, “I called him though. He’s going to help me with my site tomorrow.”
The flyers have been mostly covered by other flyers or naturally taken down by the elements at this point, but sources close to the website design service reported that the business made an astonishing $125,000 last month churning out multiple identically terrible looking websites.
