Would love to know the context here - is this what someone offered as a project bid? Spending $30K might make sense if the landing page just part of the deliverables. For example, I can imagine if you went to a marketing firm and they are assisting with branding, copywriting / editing, syndication, social, etc and the landing page is just the most obvious deliverable of the bundle, then... sure, you could spend $30K really fast.

No it's past history, possible there was marketing or something. Main point is we're sitting at -$300K and this is one of the reasons More issues than that, at one point AWS bills were 10x of what they should be. Mostly the thing had bad market reaction. Case of check reality vs. your personal beliefs/hopes.

  Got it. If I was auditing someone's books and I saw this, I'd say that either someone got completely suckered (sorry) or they were getting some kind of kickback / the vendor was their cousin and they were basically funneling them money. A static landing page with no other deliverables or not part of any larger project shouldn't be more than maybe a couple hundred bucks.

    Yeah was done by an agency, my point is you could pick some Envato theme and slap this on WP and it would be good to go. Anyway, we're pivoting hoping not to do that again. Minor add, you don't need to use WP, it's a single page, no routing or anything required, just host it somewhere as static. It is WP actually. Ha template used is $59 lol.

Not sure if it OP's reason to start the topic, but not long ago a designer on twitter made a bit of turmoil by offering to design a landing for 20k and use it as an example in the course he was making. Turns out he sold it and a couple more since then at the 20k-40k range, so I guess some people really have this kind of money to spend (he's focusing on web3 right now, so there might be an explanation there.
