If they are shopping for a website, don't sell them CF, sell them a website. > I know enterprise boasts being able to send over 1 million emails per hour. > What other features does ColdFusion have that might make it seem better then > LAMP? (Scalability, security, ease of maintenance, etc). CF doesn't have your client anything to offer over LAMP. LAMP doesn't have your client anything to offer over CF. The question is: do you have a better website and a better deal for your client then the competitor? If you offer a turn-key website including the servers and management with a one-time bill, just put the license fees in that and don't specify the lump-sum. After that, allow yourself to forget about these fees and start focussing on the business needs of your client.
