We are often asked for detailed examples of Edison website maintenance requests that might come up after the launch of a website. The following are some examples of Edison web support services we've provided in the past.

It's important to keep your Edison website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!
If your Edison website has functionality developed and maintained by a third-party, it is important to update those plugins and extensions to include the latest changes by the developers. It's similar to updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality issues.

This is brought to you by structured data, which is a standardized way of describing the content on the web page, whether it be of a local business in Edison, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.
Adding Open Graph Tags to your website will help search engines better understand your page content and improve the appearance of your website in social media platforms when people share links of your Edison business.

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Edison 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 Edison 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 Edison 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 Edison, 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.

When talking with prospective Edison 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.

Here are examples of what is considered billable time:
Here are examples of what is not considered billable time:
WebCitz offers discounted Edison 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 Edison 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 Edison site owners interested in proactive website and extension updates.
Example #1: You are an existing Edison 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.
