Maintenance
Whether you wish to maintain your site yourself or have me maintain it for you is entirely up to you.
All of my sites are implemented in manner that allows easy maintenance. This is achieved by :-
- Using industry standard technologies like XHTML, HTML, CSS, the standard DOM, PHP, MySQL etc.
- Implementing all sites in a clear, standards based manner to ensure that the maintenance could be performed by another web design agency or by someone with a little knowledge of HTML and CSS.
- By offering Content Management Systems and E-commerce software that provide an easy intuitive interface that allow you to quickly and easily make changes without requiring any programming knowledge.
Maintenance Plans
Some people do not have the time or inclination to update their site themselves and so I provide maintenance plans to meet your needs.
One-off Changes
If you don't need a a full-blown maintenance plan I can make changes whenever you request them. Small changes are charged at an hourly rate (minimum billable time is 15 minutes). For larger changes I will provide you with a quote. Simply contact me with your requirements and I will provide you with a quote before proceeding.
Basic Maintenance Plan
This plan includes :-
- Collection of statistics for your site (includes installation of
site statistic collection software).

any other work you need done, e.g. :-
