Estimating Web Effort / Schedule

Reading an article for IEEE on Web effort estimation reminded me of how SEER estimates web page development projects using either traditional line of code inputs, functional inputs, or web pages.  Of course any implementation methods can be handled, anything from HTML to java to C# to a content management system. 

Of course reuse, security and other people, process and technology items are factored into the estimate.

Some people don’t believe it is necessary to estimate web developments.  I shutter to think that all this effort is expended without an estimate or plan.
