There are different screen sizes. Your monitor isn't the standard universal size of every other monitor, some are larger and some are smaller. Your phone isn't the same width and height as every other phone. The website will look different on different devices.

Most people don't understand the real cost of software development, because the price of apps creates skewed expectations. In practice, software companies employ a business model that amortizes costs over time, making the true investment less obvious to users. The apparent simplicity of well-designed apps can also mislead users about the complexity involved. So, if somebody sees an app that costs a dollar they might assume that the cost of developing the app might be a few hundred dollars, while in practices it can be hundreds of thousands.
