What is the Maintenance Plan Like?
Risk Removing Maintenance Plan
If desired, we provide you with a sophisticated maintenance plan that will not burn a hole in your wallet. Contradictorily, you may find that you pay less by leaving the hosting and maintenance to us. This is because in many cases, our bulk discounts and other benefits as a software agency allow us to provide a lower recurring price point.
So you get cheap maintenance and stress-relief from not having to worry about the associated risks and we get recurring income and a happy customer. A win-win situation.
Database and Filesystem Backups
If you have dynamic data with your website, one of the main benefits of the maintenance plan is daily database backups and weekly filesystem backups.
You shouldn’t have to worry about some attack or natural disaster leaving you with total data loss.
Security Scans and Fixes
Another benefit of our maintenance plan is that passive and active security measures will not only be put into place but actively checked and remediated.
As a software agency, when we fix a security issue with one of our systems, we can use that knowledge to quickly apply that change to all of our systems.
Social Media Updates
We can help you maintain an online presence by pushing out relevent personal or business updates across various social media channels.
We can also set up tools that will allow you to post once to post across all social media channels.
Cost of the Maintenance Plan
While we are not able to give an exact price as both the upfront and maintenance costs depend on your specific needs, a few rough estimates can be given.
First, you will be expected to pay all hosting costs necessary for keeping the site online and running properly that we are given by third-party services we work with.
Second, you will pay a maintenance fee which is a flat fee plus an additional dynamic cost equal to 15% of the pay period’s hosting fees. For hosting and maintenance of a Keeping it Easy bundle site will be expected to cost less than $30 each month. A Upgradable bundle site will be expected to cost less than $50 each month. A custom site or other software application cannot be given a rough estimate as the requirements will differ more greatly.
Tech Support
With our maintenance plan, feel free to request tech support. We’re here to help you with any concerns that you may have. This may include fixing a bug or changing parts of the software application you have a plan on.
Need a basic system change or are having problems completing a task? We can help resolve your issues.
Couldn't I Just Do Maintenance Manually/In-House?
If you have a developer build your site and maintain it, in-house. How much is that going to cost you? According to Indeed, the base salary of a web developer is $79,287. If all you need is a single website or other software application for an online presence, is that price tag worth it for the added risk that would otherwise be handled by us? Take a look at the below chart for estimated maintenance cost with a Upgradable bundle site:
