There will come a time when every Surprise website needs some sort of maintenance. The reason is simply that the internet is always changing. Not to worry though, our Surprise web maintenance cost isn't expensive so it should be affordable for you to maintain your website! Website maintenance in Surprise might be needed for these reasons:
As you can see, there are many reasons a website may require maintenance above and beyond the obvious reasons of just wanting to update something on the website. When planning budgets and schedules for web support and support, consider your Surprise business's potential future needs.
It's our job to understand your web maintenance needs, schedule your work in a timely fashion, and follow up with your Surprise business after the work is done.
Most website maintenance services start with an email from you, the owner of the Surprise website. That email is routed into our ticket system and automatically assigned to the project manager on your account. Anyone on our team can work on the ticket without delay, resulting in faster turnaround time.
For requests that originate from phone or live chat, a similar process to handling your Surprise web support services unfolds. The support request is entered into our ticket system by the person in the conversation with you, which allows the work order to be routed to the most appropriate web developer on our team.
After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Surprise web maintenance requests. Here are several examples of Surprise web maintenance services we've been asked to perform in the past and would be more than happy to provide to you!
Your Surprise website might need a paragraph updated, an image changed, or a new page added. These are just normal, routine website maintenance tasks to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.
We can analyze your Surprise website for hosting issues, caching issues, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and more if it's slow. User experience and SEO will both benefit from better page load times.
It's important to keep your Surprise website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. Updates help improve security and functionality - and they're usually quick, so it might be a simple task.
It's important to update your Surprise website's plugins and extensions to reflect the latest changes by the developers. This is similar to the idea of updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality issues.

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is structured data, which is a standardized way to describe the content on a webpage, whether it's a local Surprise business, or an ecommerce product.
By adding Open Graph Tags to your website, digital platforms can better understand the content of your page, which improves its appearance on social media.

With years of experience developing websites for Surprise businesses (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms.

For that reason, our web support agency for Surprise websites tends to service only the following platforms:
As a website support firm, we used to maintain and support Joomla and Magento websites for Surprise-area businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

The starting price for our Surprise website maintenance services is $119.50/hour, but we offer discounts for pre-purchased blocks of time that bring the rate as low as $99.95/hour. We also offer website management for Surprise websites, starting at $50/month, if you'd like the peace of mind knowing a company is proactively upgrading your site.
To get started, if you are new to our web maintenance company, we'll need you to pre-purchase a block of time which includes a discount on our hourly rate. If you are an existing client in Surprise, you are welcome to choose monthly billing at our higher hourly rate or continue to pre-purchase time and receive discounted hourly rates for your website updates.
If you pre-purchase a block of time for your Surprise web maintenance services, you will be happy to know there are no contracts, there are no hidden fees, the time never expires, and there are no minimum deductions for small website update requests. Please keep in mind we rarely see tasks take less than 10 minutes, since the process of reviewing an email or taking a phone call, checking on whatever was asked, providing some form of feedback, and then logging the task usually takes at least 10 minutes of time. To keep you informed of the time usage on your pre-purchased block of web maintenance time, you will receive a monthly email update letting you know how much time remains on your account.
When talking with prospective Surprise website maintenance clients, we are often asked what is considered billable time. You will find the answers to vary greatly within the website support industry. In some situations, you may find a website maintenance company in Surprise to charge a much higher hourly rate, but not bill out for communication and organization. Likewise, there are website support companies in Surprise who charge a more affordable hourly rate, but also bill out for most communication and organization. This is the approach we take. To help provide clarification, let's go over some examples of what we consider billable time when it comes to maintaining and supporting your Surprise website.
Here are examples of what is considered billable time:
Here are examples of what is not considered billable time:
WebCitz offers discounted Surprise website maintenance services for clients interested in retaining our services through a pre-purchased block of time.
Example #1: You are an existing client in Surprise with a 10-hour block of time ($1,095) on your account. You have a 30-minute phone call with your project manager to discuss tasks, but 15 minutes is spent talking about golf, weather, etc. The task took 40 minutes of work to complete. In this example, you would have 55 minutes deducted from your 10-hour block of time. The time spent talking about non business-related topics isn't billed.
For Surprise site owners interested in proactive website and extension updates.
Example #1: You are an existing Surprise client with a 10-hour block of time ($1,095) on your account and a monthly website management subscription ($125/mo). During the month of website management, our team logged into your website, performed the necessary upgrades, tested your website's functionality, and reported back to you the website was upgraded without any issues. In this situation, no time would be deducted from your 10-hour block of time.
Example #2: The same situation and process as the first example, but while testing the functionality we discover something has broken. In this example, we would spend 15-20 minutes to attempt resolving the issue, at no charge to you. If we are unable to resolve the issue in that time, we would roll back your website to a previous state. From there, we would discuss resolutions with you that would be subject to time deductions from your 10-hour block of time.
