DIY Package - Self service savings
Some customers may prefer
to choose their own site hosting
or have an existing web site but may still require assistance
with routine updates and maintenance.
A recent trend for example is for companies to
set up a Content Management Systems (CMS) web site which in
theory makes updating the site relatively easy. In reality though, some find they still need
some external assistance, either for technical reasons, to wade
through a quirky interface, or to simply assist on-site staff
who are already stretched with work.
If you want your site professionally maintained on an "as needs" basis at a fixed hourly rate
with no other on-going commitments
or advantages provided by our fixed packages, perhaps our
Freelance Plan may suit you.
Our Freelance Plan
allows us to work to your specific instructions
on a fixed hourly rate with no other inclusions, services, added
value or on-going
fees.
The plan
removes all the value-added inclusions
and benefits normally included by our packages, things such as
web hosting,
domain name renewal fees, free design hours,
discounted hourly
rates, email accounts management,
server
support, technical
maintenance,
reports, live statistics or
referral rewards.
Any of the above
additional services, if required, are chargeable on this plan on
an hourly rate (minimum increment is 15 mins).
Sites can be
hosted at
Webcentral, Netregistry or WebCity (our host
partners). If the site
is hosted at another host provider higher rates may apply -
