Website Maintenance

Maybe you can't afford to hire a big web site design company to update the content of your website. Maybe you don't have time to learn how to do it yourself. Maybe the maintenance of your web site has gotten out of control, you can't keep up with it and you can't hire a full-time maintenance person. These are situations that often present themselves in our fast-paced world of business, where everyone is multi-tasking. Trust Designs by Kricket to become your off-site webmaster.

Your time can be better spent on what you do best.... running your business.  I can help you to free up your own time by offering you flexible, affordable solutions with experienced website maintenance and protect your investment.  Have you ever considered the cost of your time or your employee's time, attempting to repair and upgrade?

Is your website out of date for both your product as well as search engine optimization?  Is your website user friendly for your customers?  Do you need added web pages to accommodate the growth of your business?  Product or Pricing changes? Specials or sale promotions?  Adding or maintaining links?  Company news updates? 

Designs by Kricket has several Monthly Maintenance Packages to offer as well as an Ala Carte pricing menu for 'One Time Customization' (bottom of this page).

Basic Monthly Maintenance Packages:

Web Site Maintenance Policy:

1. I 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.  Maintenance includes updating links and making minor changes to a sentence or paragraph.  Please see my sample contract, paragraph #5 for all inclusions and exclusions.

3. Time is based on actual total time involved in completing the updates. There is a one-half hour minimum charge for updates made. If no updates or changes have been requested, there is no monthly fee for maintenance.

4. Although I make every effort to make accurate changes, it is the client's responsibility to review updates and notify me of any necessary changes that need to be made. I do not charge for changes that are my fault. However, if a change needs to be made due to client error, the regular hourly update fees will be charged.

5. I 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.
