maintenance YOU MAINTAIN
or
All of our web packages work together with a Content Management System (CMS). This means that we put control in your hands. Once your website has been built by us, you maintain your own website from then on. In the long run, this puts money back into your pocket instead of paying a web designer to maintain your information.
WE MAINTAIN
If you are simply too busy and would like us to maintain your company website for you, we would be more than happy to do so. You can purchase a standard maintenance package or pay our hourly rate.
