Things you need to consider:

1. Have you got all the images (photos) that you want to have on the website. Although some images can be sourced generically from the internet, they may not be personalised enough or could have some copyright attached to them. Your web designer is unlikely to do this for you without wanting to charge extra.
2. Graphics such as logos and display panels are almost certainly going to need to be created for you. You could either use a Graphic designer or ask your web designer to design this for you. Either way, since these graphics are likely to be bespoke you should budget for this service.
3. When submitting your text / content try to ensure that it is in an electronic format. Most website designers are no better at typing than the rest of us so to save money always submit in an electronic format.
4. Domain names are readily available for purchase by you directly. You should always do this yourself as it is vital that you are the registered owner of your choosen domain name. Purchasing a domain name is very cheap (between £5 and £20 for 2 years). You might want to take advice on what domain extension to go for such as .co.uk or .com etc
