CONNECT·POINTS:  WEBSITE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS

What is Web Site Maintenance?

Maintenance is updating copy, photos, links, graphics, etc. Maintenance is adding new pages and removing old ones. Changes that do not require a site redesign fall under web site maintenance. Connect-Points has two rates for maintaining web sites, the standard rate of $65 an hour and a contracted rate of $50 an hour. To be eligible for the contracted rate, your site should require a minimum of 3 hours of work monthly.

Why enter a maintenance/service agreement?

Contract work is more economical than the element rate for regular updating. For example, if you wish to have a page of text edited, the regular hourly rate would be $65 per hour. At the contract rate, writing and editing would be billed at only $50 an hour.

What are the qualifications for contract work?

A service agreement of 3 or more hours of web service per month for at least three months receives the Connect-Points contract rate of $50 an hour.

How is the hourly rate billed?

Contract maintenance work is billed in quarterly increments of $12.5 per ¼ hour. Standard rate maintenance is billed in half-hour increments of $32.50 per ½ hour, with a minimum billing of an hour ($65). In either case, you will be given an estimate for each new assignment.

What is included in the monthly service?

Monthly service can include any activity that maintains and updates a site without overhauling the site. Service includes updating copy in calendars, newsletters, coupons, or text; minor changes to web layout, links, prices or pictures; or, minor additions such as additional pages, new links, or new images.

What if my web site was not designed by Connect-Points?

No problem! Connect-Points can maintain your web site even if someone else designed it, including updating deprecated code. If your site needs a redesign or overhaul, that would fall under our regular design rates.
