I mean she's got a point. I used to do web design and the number of people who reckoned that it should cost the equivalent of $40 was ridiculous. I'd required at least 10 times that just as compensation from having to work with shopify.

When doing websites. I always told people upfront, you can do it cheap, fast, or good. Pick two because all three doesn't exist.

Well I certainly found it was a good idea to not keep the customer in the dark about my prices. If I'm going to be expensive I might as well tell them outright, it's not like I'm going to get more customers if I led them on.
Price transparency != Marketing strategy.
