Hello Everyone,

I have recently started a new Web Design and Development business in the United States.

Q1: Is this a reasonable Price chart, what other service variables should be taken into consideration to maximize our business' potential and revenue?

Q2: What should be a reasonable monthly charge to maintain my client's site after development? The client also wants us to locate, set up and manage the hosting of the site, how should I factor in a monthly charge for this?

Synopsis of Job:

Our Client would like us to administer the following services:

-Design, construct and develop and maintain website
-Locate, setup and manage Hosting
- perform periodic updates

Q3. What should we be charging for this service?
(Note: Currency exchange irrelevant in this case. We will perform the necessary excahange)
