My WP sites start at 8500, I used to code but the builder I use is so flexible that it isn’t necessary anymore. I build large sites for nonprofits, restaurant groups, and membership organizations. We provide more than just development, our sites include content, SEO and analytics strategy and implementation. Our sites are full marketing tools.

If I need customization outside of the plugins, which is rare these days, I have specialized developers to customize plugins etc.

I also make some of my money fixing broken sites where developers dropped the ball or simply disappeared.

I have been doing this for over 10 years, My business is 95% referral.
