I agree with everyone here; you were right to turn them down. Your department is just trying to get around paying a fair amount for the work and just trying to make you feel guilty. You wouldn't be learning anything by making the website; instead, you'd be performing a service for which you already have professional skills. Therefore you should not be considered a student assistant on that project. You were right to stand your ground, and it will surely blow over soon enough. Congrats on being strong!
