Well if you need a website to be that simple you can try to use Wordpress/Blogspot and add free theme in it 
This. However, if you want a custom website made for you, it should cost a measly amount like <$10-15; less if they use a template.
Well, first, the website really is for a friend of mine (I'm asking this on his behalf) - I would have no problem admitting it was for me, if that was the case.
Then, the thing is, he was offered a sort of package deal, in relation to the project he is working on, and the website is only part of it (the rest is not IT related). But the amount they were asking for the work they would be doing was rather high, so, we were wondering if it could be due to the webpage somehow - looking at all the values mentioned so far (design, domain, hosting), I guess not.
That's all we needed to know; thanks, everyone.
