Usually when you're being hired to do a whole website from scratch you quote the whole job as one cost. make sure you itemize the quote and describe everything you need from the client (text for certain pages etc) you might also wish to sit down with them and guide them through registering a dns if they are not tech savy enough to do it themselfs.

i usually say to my clients "i'll make up a quote for the site itself, but any extra work after the quote will be charged out at $65 (AUD)" depending on how much they are spending $65 may be too much to charge, so make a good deal where you don't loose out and offer good service you can't possibly loose..

fyi i charged 4k on my last job, for 66 hours of work, this might seem like a rip but it's a pretty average price where i come from.
