Personally I think weebly is the cheap way out. Is your Boss looking for a real website that is not a simple drag and drop and always having the "Made with Weebly or Powered by Weebly" at the bottom?
I know if I were looking for property, ran across the site, saw that is was made by a free website maker, I might get the idea that the owner is cheap too when it comes to the property.
Just my thoughts.
I would do this job for you but I am busy enough as it is.

If I had asked you to do this job for me, you would do this job, If you weren't too busy...
Kinda already made it clear that i'm doing it myself now...
Her website is already cheap as fuck... looks like someone was high when they made it...lol
Anyways, weebly has a lot of nice shit, for something "just getting by"...
this woman's extremely cheap, and she doesn't like to pay for anything....
She already got a quote from someone for $1900, and they'd have it ready in like 40 days, so I told her $850....!!! and she took it!

Lol if I was on your place it'll take me 14 bucks and 2 hours to do the work.
You see there's a lot of potential in website building. It may be a little "little time" that I'm saying for you but with the tens (not 100's) I did in the past I even think it can be done in less than 2 hours.
DO It!
Get into the site building business. There are n00bish company owners that want to have a website but don't know how to do it. Every order you can be making over $2000.
It's just finding costumers and delivering what they wanted.
100% true. But we need to make sure that client is happy on what we are delivering. It would be viral if you deliver a good site to one client and that client pass on the good information to other noobish client and you get more orders.
My 0.2 cents..

IMHO, $850 to build someone a site is decent money but not enough.
Next time, charge $1,500 and outsource it if you have to. Then add on a $79.00 a month backend program to provide maintenance, SEO, content creation, promotion, whatever. There are quite a few peeps getting $1.5K for site-building.
All the best!

what i find is that people who want to spend less than $500 usually really want all the bells and whistles of a $2000 web site, they neither know or realize the ROI of a properly designed site... in more cases i find that charging less than $2000 simply becomes more hassle than what its worth...
for $2000+ expect to have a site properly designed/developed an optimized so people can actually find the thing...
Anything less i would expect the site to have had its corners cut and be lucky if it if ever gets found in the top 5 pages of google let alone top 2...
In boosey's case i was giving him the BHW hookup

i still say templates. It doesn't need to be dynamic, so don't worry about all that shizzle!
If weebly doesn't pan out, i'd outsource it for like $100. Loadsa people would kill for it i guess!
And s0phia, if you could find clients like that, why not setup your own business? ... oh, and is that Ann French in your pic? looks alot like her! I know her in real life! (possibly my only claim to fame!)

the company i work for doesnt make sites for less than 5k euros, and plenty above 60k.. and that company is damn small lol
so 850$ is a peanuts site, outsource it if u cant make a site worth that much
i bet they dont work out of their home office/bedroom and have much higher over heads too
get what you can - i think the more professional you look the more you can demand ... unless your extremely, extremely good at blagging people then it doesnt matter!

u need to be a company with rep in order to get such clients, which means u need to make shitloads of little sites for bullshit clients first and stuff. cba with all that shit, esp not while im still at uni

$850 is pretty chintzy, you should also get paid for hosting, link building, SEO and maintenance.
Consider this your first paid consulting job and go all the way...
Set up a reseller hosting account and charge $300 for hosting every year. Also, if you control the site, that makes it harder to be fired for anything later on. Charge $2,000 for the project upfront at least and outsource the design for like $50 on elance...pocket the rest ;-)

$439.95...lol.
Use free templates, or use Template Monster.
Better yet, build a Wordpress site...it doesn't get any easier than that.
