Websites need to be updated often since they are a means of communication for any sized business. People are using the Internet everywhere - on their televisions and phones, so having your website's content up to date is, no doubt, something that is very important now.
If you need help with updates for your website, then you need to find a capable website maintenance company that is set up to handle these kinds of requests.
Why?
Well, if you sign up with a maintenance business that has to pull their designers and programmers off of their current projects to do your website work, then you work might not be done as well. The work will be done better by a team that's waiting for your website maintenance work. It's that simple!
Here are just some of the services that we provide when we do updates to websites:

The main problem with updating a website is where to start. We get calls from people all the time who are in a situation where they are tasked with updating the company website but they have no idea where to start. What happens is that maybe the last time the website was updated was before they were employed there or the person who was in charge of the website has left the company. Sometimes the web designer that made the original website has left town or went out of business.
Getting access to the website can be a problem but we are able to work through that and help our clients. Information about how to do that is below but let's first discuss our website design maintenance services.
The way it works is we sell what we call "Maintenance Blocks," which are blocks of time. Each "block" is a half hour of time. We do this for a few reasons. First, most work we get is at least a half hour of work. Second, if it's not quite a half hour, then out clients tend to save up a few tasks that can all be done within a half hour and this saves them time/money with website updates.
We Can Get You a Quote
If you are not sure how much time something might take, then we can give you a quote on the work before we begin. We'll quote it and then ask for your approval (and payment) before we begin on the work.
Pricing / Costs
The cost for this work depends on how many blocks you purchase / pre-pay. The more blocks you buy at a time, the bigger discount you get. The reason for this is that it saves us time doing billing. If we have to generate an invoice for every single half hour of work, there is really no way we can give a discount. Discounts start at just 3 hours, which is a 6-pack of Maintenance Blocks.

Like I said, sometimes the most difficult thing with this work is getting access to the website. It's difficult to know where to begin and where to get the info. Here is some help.
What We're Looking For
What we need is the following:
The optional items above are probably optional - we might actually need this info but let's first start with the FTP info. Here's more info about FTP is.

If you are looking to get some updates done to your website, then here is some information that can help you. Most people want to know what your website maintenance cost may be. The price for getting some work done will, of course, depend on how much work you need done. Do you need just a few pages updated with new text and images or do you need features added?
Generally speaking, you can plan to spend about 10-20% of your website's cost in maintenance every year. If you're looking for a number to include in a budget, that should work pretty well as you'll need to upgrade scripts and software running on your website as well as make changes to text and images.
Small websites can expect to average 1-4 hours per month and larger websites that are more active can expect to average 6-12 hours per month or more.
Example: Getting two pages updated is about a half hour of work.
Here is what someone doing website maintenance should do in order to complete a task like this:
All of this takes a half hourif the work is done carefully.
