Maintenance

WordPress is designed so that anyone can update their content without knowledge of any coding languages. It is fairly simple but can become time consuming. It is our objective to basically “Get you started” with a nice website that you can maintain yourself with ease. However many people do not have the time for this. As our business grows we are getting many requests to make changes to previously completed websites. We do not mind doing this but it can take a lot of valuable time from us. In order to be able to help our clients with their maintenance we have started a “Hourly Maintenance Plan”. We will gladly make any minor updates, changes or fixes to your site. We will update, amend, modify, or add to your content, and even make minor graphic changes if needed. The "Hourly Maintenance Plan" is billed at $25 an hour (with a minimum of 1 hour) for these changes.

Anything exceeding one hour is rounded to the next hour. For example, for .75 hours you would be billed for 1 hour and for 1.25 hours of work, you would be billed for 2 hours.
