Charles, thanks for your input! I agree that these all go into the overall cost of a website. At OCC we consider the SEO, Keyword research, and some of the others as "Marketing" of the website, which is done after the website is complete. However, you bring up a very good point: Building the website is just the initial step and cost. The cost of marketing and support of the website need to be factored into the total cost of ownership as well.

I have listed some specific items. Most of them but not all could be put under your more general categories.

I have been building websites for a number of years and some of the following are very time consuming (therefore increase the cost) but pay high dividends in “page rankings” and high volume traffic.

1.Extent of Search Engine Optimization
2.Amount of Keyword research & on/off page tuning using these "key word phrases"
3.Amount of Local Search focus
4.Mobile Device support
5.Amount of ongoing analytics and site modification based on this analysis
6.Choice of Content Management System (Joomla, WordPress, etc) or traditional HTML & CSS
7.Video, blog support
8.Social Media integration
