Inexpensive Web Site Maintenance

Web Site Maintenance is a service that allows adjustment and updates to a web site. Maintenance is an important part of having a website. If your content, offers, etc. don't change from time to time you may lose your audience or their return to your site. Common examples of web maintenance may include changing text, images, promotions, or advertisements on your site. Search engines are also inspired to return more often to web sites if the content is changed regularly, even if this is just a little. This indicates that it is an active, rather than an abandoned web site. Search engines can tell if your content has changed, and your site can drop in rankings if it goes a long time without any changes being made.

I can take care of this for you if you'd like. Simply send me an e-mail outlining in detail the additions/revisions you require on your site, specifying the page/s you would like revised. Also, attach any necessary files to your email, such as images, text to include/change, etc.

Most updates are completed within 24 hours. Payment will be due immediately upon completion, unless alternate arrangements have been made with me beforehand. This is subject to change at my discretion, based on payment history.

Basic Web Site Maintenance includes updating links, inserting new links and making minor changes to a sentence or paragraph. It does not include replacing nearly all the text from a page with new text, major page reconstruction, new pages, images, guest books, navigation structure changes, or attempted updates by Client repairs. Basic Web Site Maintenance is charged at an hourly rate of $30.00, billed in 1/2 hour increments.

Advanced Web Site Maintenance Plans are available for a monthly rate of $250.00 for up to 10 hours of maintenance per month, and covers items such as adding content to your existing website pages (articles, text, events, PDF documents); adding/updating links; adding photos/graphics, editing, revising, or updating your existing content and graphics. The monthly rate will be due at the beginning of each month. This option puts maintenance at $25.00 per hour, saving you a bit of cash.  Any unused hours roll over to the next month, and the next month's charge will be adjusted accordingly.

For items such as adding new pages, adding video or music, forms, etc., please see the rates listed in Basic Rates
