On some occasions, I have spent a good 30-45 mins on the phone with webdesign companies, only to find out that the quote I receive after the conversation is either too high or too low.

Then (and only then) explain your solution. Way too much web copy starts with the solution, never getting around to explaining how that solution is relevant. You need to provide context for two reasons: goodwill building (this is information, not a sales pitch) and credibility (prove you know what you're talking about).

I will try to incorporate that in my website too..

One other thing, if we can provide things the "quotes" or standard "ballpark" figures for service based websites right on the site, the people really appreciate it, I know I do. I am more likely to keep that website as part of my bookmarks if they put pricing up, instead of me having to call, I mean after all I am part of the web generation, who is more likely to make purchases on the web than anywhere else.
