Is it really that expensive to develop a customized portal website with advanced CMS features? How much will a web development firm usually rip-off a lay customer for this kind of job? I mean, you don't need expensive natural resources like gold, silver, oil, etc to build the website. Just technical labor. And this labor cost a whooping lot. Please explain why the high price.

I honestly believe if people want big businesses, they should solicit more businesses through affordable packages. Not by charging $100K to 1 customer, but instead charging $1k to 100 customers. The last thing I need is an intention to rip me off.

No, that $100k is just an exagerated figure. The original package cost less than $10k. Then I suggest I require a more advanced system and the price goes up to $50k (just a starting price, meaning it can go higher). The difference is far more than 400% increase. And I don't think the additional workload required for my customized system will also increase by that much percentage.
