Those services are just a taste of what Topeka website support might look like. In fact, Topeka web maintenance is basically anything a web developer or digital marketer does to your website.

Pricing for Topeka, KS Website Maintenance

The starting price for our 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.

If you purchase a website maintenance retainer, there are no contracts, hidden fees, expirations, or minimum deductions.

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, working on the request, providing feedback, and logging the task usually takes at least 10 minutes of time.

To keep you informed of the time usage on your pre-purchased web maintenance retainer, you'll receive a monthly update letting you know how much time remains on your account.

The Platforms We Maintain for Topeka, KS Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Topeka businesses, who have been immersed in multiple website platforms over the years. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. Therefore, we tend to only maintain Topeka websites on these platforms:

• Topeka WordPress Web Support
• Topeka WooCommerce Website Support
• Topeka Shopify Web Maintenance

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Topeka businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our website maintenance experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.
