Cost of Website Design and Hosting

There is a one time set-up fee to personalize your site (analogous to you setting up your client's prototype document). There is also an annual hosting, online newsletter and maintenance fee (analogous to your client's paying you an annual administration fee).

Here's a summary of what is included:
