Hello Everyone,
I have recently started a new Web Design and Development business in the United States.
Our Small Business is in correspondence with our first client about pricing and service requirements.
I have a few questions to ensure we conduct our Web buisiness in a professional and fair manner.

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?

Q3. What should we be charging for this service?
