The charge for one off website maintenance projects is:

• $30.00 for one web page
• $25.00 per page for 2-5 web pages
• $20.00 per page for 6-10 web pages

Updates that require structural or graphical redesign will require individual quoting. As a guide Update IT charges $35.00 per hour for larger scale projects that involve a combination of graphic design, HTML, PHP, CSS, Javascript, domain registration, server setup, testing, copy writing or search engine optimisation (SEO).

We also offer a comprehensive subscription service for websites requiring regular maintenance that also includes free hosting!

Further website maintenance information

At Update IT all website coding is completed by hand using standard text editors as opposed to using applications like Dreamweaver or Frontpage (Expression Web) that tend to generate outdated and excessive code. One benefit of this approach is that we can clean up the HTML code that underlies many websites, removing depreciated and excessive HTML to create standards based HTML code that is easily adapted to any device, be it a computer screen, widescreen or mobile phone.

Today's current web standards are developed and defined by the internet's governing body called the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). By adhering to and testing against these standards Update IT ensures that all websites will function and look consistent across all the major browsers and computer platforms.
