1- First of all, let the client send you the files\texts he wants to translate. If he just gives you a URL, you can't be sure, that you are working on only the parts he wants. This can be a big problem for you.
2- Preferably, ask for the source texts as HTML and use a TM tool to translate them, so that you can provide the client with similar final layout.
3- Mirroring the final text layout to be right aligned and to read from right to left varies depending on the details of the web page design. This requires some experience and is a different task than just translating the text.
I absolutely support this idea. Use a CAT tool to translate and do a series of tests of the website with extra fee. My EN-JP, EN-TH website projects met many localization troubles. In EN-JP project, an agency fr software translation instructed me wrongly to translate HTML files with MS Word/MS Frontpage. This will induce troubles on later steps.
