FAQs

Frequently asked questions

WAY PAY FOR WEBSITE MAINTENANCE?

While you can certainly lower your monthly expenses via DIY maintenance and hosting. You’ll need to have the time and development background to maintain the site successfully. Having a dedicated team to manage and facilitate all maintenance tasks is an invaluable resource and will ensure that your website remains secure, accessible and functions year-round.

WHAT DO THE EDITING HOURS CONSIST OF?

You can allocate the editing hours to anything you want. Depending on the request, it may take longer to complete the task than the number of hours provided in the price – in that case, we can invoice you for the added time at a discounted rate of 25% off our hourly rates. Editing hours expire after 60 days of renewal. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A MONTHLY PAYMENT?

We are flexible as to when you’d like your monthly payments to be made. However, payments are due immediately upon receiving your invoice. If payments aren’t made within 10 days of the invoice we will contact you with notice and if payment isn’t made within 30 days of invoice receipt we reserve the right to temporarily disable your website until payment is received.

WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF THE MAINTENANCE & HOSTING?

The terms for your maintenance and hosting agreement start as soon as we receive payment and are active for an entire calendar year.  

WHAT IF I WANT TO MAKE MAJOR CHANGES TO MY WEBSITE?

WHAT IF I DONT REQUIRE YOUR SERVICES ANYMORE?

Hopefully we haven’t done anything to upset you and we’re really sorry to see you go if that’s what you’d like to do. But in the event that you want to go on your own – We will provide you with the most recent copy of the backed-up website where you can then upload it to your own servers and maintain the site in-house. We will no longer be responsible for any parts of your website at this point.
