Website Maintenance |
|
Creating a website can be easy compared to maintaining it. Over the
years that we have been developing websites we have discovered that
maintaining a site can require more money that developing it. If you
don't want to spend your time updating your website, then let us do
it for you so that you can focus on what you do best.
What is Website Maintenance?
Website maintenance includes revising, editing, or otherwise
changing existing web pages to keep your website up to date. The
periodic addition of new web pages is also part of maintenance
services.
Websites are not intended to be static. The value of a practice
website is the ability to maintain current information online at a
reasonable cost. We assume that you will want to revise some or all
of your web pages over time, as well as adding additional web pages
according to your business needs. To assist you in maintaining
current information online, we offer several options for
website maintenance.
If you believe you will be making regular changes to your website
over time, you can save money by purchasing a
website maintenance
contract. A maintenance contract is for a one year term, and is
non-refundable. The monthly charge for maintenance is based on the
size of your website at the time the contract is signed.
Under our
Website maintenance contract, you are entitled to make an
unlimited number of text revisions to existing web pages. This
includes redesigning web pages, or adding, deleting or editing
graphics on the web pages.
Most Website Maintenance job includes at least the following:
content update, announcements, articles, etc.
replace images i.e. Pictures & graphics
adding/removing pages
image manipulation and addition (client supplied images)
newsletter & email list maintenance
website modification and addition of website content
Web Site Maintenance Policy:
1. We maintain a current local backup copy of your web site.
2. "Maintenance" is defined as keeping the web site current.
It is not intended to be a redesign or revamp.
3. Updates are completed within 2-3 days of the time they are
received.
4. Although we make every effort to make accurate changes, it
is the client's responsibility to review updates and notify us of
any necessary changes that need to be made. We do not charge for
changes that are our fault. However, if a change needs to be made
due to client error, the regular hourly update fees will be charged.
5. We reserve the right to distinguish between "updates" and
"new design". New design work is charged at our design rate.
6. Updates should be provided electronically (by email) as
much as possible. Attachments should be in .txt or .doc (Word)
format. Pictures need to be .jpg or .gif. Updates may also be sent
by postal mail or by fax. These require retyping data or scanning
photos and will cost more to complete the changes.
7. Your web site may be using third-party components (web
site trackers, weather info-feeds, etc.). We have no control over
what third party sites do and take no responsibility for loss of
information due to actions of these sites. Any changes to your site
stemming from regulations of these third party components will be
billed at the normal hourly rate.
