  2. For web hosting Brandon Beck recommends the company Bluehost, which charges approximately $100 per year for the basic package (which is usually all you'll need).
  3. Domain names generally cost around $10 per year, but free for the first year with Bluehost hosting.
  4. Email accounts are generally free with a hosting service.
  5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be very complicated and time consuming and will cost an additional minimum of $1,500. However, Brandon Beck codes the sites in a very logical way that is prone to google recognition without SEO.
  6. Although minor changes and light maintenance are free if Brandon designs your site, he charges $50 per hour for substantial revision, redesign, or adding additional pages. Luckily for you, Brandon works quickly!

To conclude, you should budget around $1,300 for startup costs and about $110 per year thereafter. To include SEO, you should budget around $3,000 for startup costs.
