If you were to pay $45-90/hr and 85-125 for database apps then you are 
simply getting screwed.

A lot of that can be done for next to nothing, not requiring much time 
either.  Not be belittle those who have put work into the NSRCA site but 
really doesn't take $125/hr database app development.

For the last 4 years I've made 100% of my income from the internet.  6 
years I ago I had no clue as to what a web page was let along know how to 
create HTML and database apps.  Now I maintain 6 websites 1 of which is 
VERY heavy on database apps and e-commerce and its not that hard.

The most diffucult part is coming with CONTENT, not putting it into 
webform.  Just like the publishing of K-Factor, getting quality content is 
the hardest part of the entire operation.
