Alternate website maintenance options for clients currently hosting their own site:
We realize that our clients will all have different needs when it comes to website maintenance, particularly those who choose not to host their site with us. While we always recommend one of our combined service packages as the most efficient way to both host and maintain your site, there are additional website maintenance options for those who chose not to bundle services with us.
Special plans can be developed for accounts with time-sensitive needs, animation or dynamic programming changes, special design requests, etc. For most other requests, one of the options below is typically suitable. Please contact us for other monthly website maintenance options not shown here.
