$20 is for a standard prototype or a quick wireframe, its a marketing strategy to bring to client to the discussion table. I don't do full web app gigs for that price! The other two packages (standard & premium) is where most of the development happens.

Great strategy! I'm guessing you are referring to these packages [1] These rates for me as a western european still look incredibly low. or are these still prototyping prices?

Yep, this incredibly low price is just for creating a rough prototype (which the client is typically never interested in). As I said, once the client comes to discussion table, I then bring the topics of well-maintained and commented source code, unit and integration testing, benefits of cloud hosting on AWS, etc. and then we start forming real estimates.
