I love this. I recently had someone ask me for an hourly estimate on a
small web-based too, but refused to give me any details. My response was
similar to yours - Its like taking your car to the mechanic and saying "fix
my car". The mechanic - any mechanic - will say "What's wrong with it?"
He can't fix it without knowing what you think needs to be fixed.

The same thing goes for creating a new web site.
Do you have graphics? A logo? An idea?
Are you the kind of person who can clearly describe what you need?
Are you writing your own content?
What sort of content needs to go on the site?
How much content will there be?
Is this a purely promotional/ brochureware site, or an e-commerce site?

Like you said, how much is a new car? Do you want a Bugatti or a Yugo? Plan
accordingly.
