Website Updates

You need to consider whether or not the information on your website will need to be updated, and if so, how often. Search engines prefer websites with fresh content, and it doesn't reflect well on your company to have out-dated information representing you. Below are the options:

No Updates Periodic Updates Website Maintenance Plans Content Management Systems

If your business does not change much, you may be able to include all the information necessary without worrying about it getting out-of-date for a long time. Be sure to word things in such a way that won’t easily become dated.

For example, the text on our website lets people know that Griffin Web Design has been in business since January 2000. This statement will always be accurate. If we told people we've been in business for ten
years, that would become dated in a year’s time.

Maybe you don't anticipate a lot of updates to your site, but something may come up once every so often. If that's the case, you may wish to contact us to have some work done by the hour.

At Griffin Web Design, we charge an off-the-shelf hourly rate of $90.00, but our minimum order is only a quarter hour, or $22.50. So if you just need a
phone number, a price, or a photo changed out, it's still pretty economical.

If you know you're going to need to have your website updated on a regular basis, and you'd like to have a web designer do it for you, then you may prefer to be on a maintenance plan.

At Griffin Web Design, we offer web maintenance plans starting at $40.00 per month for up to a half hour of updates to your site each month. A half hour is enough time to add about five photos or a few paragraphs of text.
