It's literally a walk in the park. With no skill needed, simply picking aup to 3 different colors, and maybe providing an email attachment or link to a few images that appeal to the design of the site and it's a no brainer to put together. But no...everything rests on the shoulders of the developer to come up with the scope for a project that someone else wants completed. ;)
