› Maintenance/Support
We pride ourselves on our easy going, informal and flexible approach. If we build a website for you, we will always be there to support you, no matter what level of design you require.
From experience we've found some customers prefer us to maintain their website. More often than not so they can get on with what they do best and leave us to it. Depending upon the level of maintenance you require we charge a small monthly fee which we can tie in with your hosting costs.
Sometimes it's just not feasible for us to maintain a site, for example if you have daily news/product updates, or require word doc or pdf uploads that constantly change. We recommend a content managed website in these circumstances.
