Monthly Maintenance Packages

Please note that monthly retainers do not include design elements and will need to be requested.
These are starting Rates, each retainer will be looked at separately depending on the amount of work needed.
Software maintenance.
Websites have software and plugins that need to stay up to date to keep up with growing security threats and the latest coding trends. Software maintenance makes sure that your website stays up to date and runs efficiently.
Content Maintenance.
Websites need content updates from time to time. Such as phone numbers changed and services added. Content maintenance makes sure that you can add content where ever whenever for a set fee so that your website is up to date and current with your business. ( Please note that this applies to existing pages and elements. New pages and elements will be quoted separately. )

Payment
All time is clocked carefully and is recorded to a client portfolio. A breakdown of time will be given with the invoice. Payment needs to be made by the 25th day of the month that the changes are made. If a payment is missed monthly maintenance will not be credited for the following month. An invoice will be sent every month on the 24th. If payment is not made at all for changes made within one month if invoicing all changes will be deleted from said website.
Does not include additional elements which may require outsourcing. All prices include VAT.
The above is based on the current brief, should the brief change, the cost estimate will be adjusted.
If maintenance hours are met a new contract needs to be drawn up. If maintenance hours are met with no contract an hourly rate will be imposed. Clients will be informed on time taken as the monthly changes are made.
