In general, when your website is complete and is handed over by the website designer, there’s a big sigh of relief, but wait, do you really think it’s done and your website will last forever without any care and maintenance?
No, like your car, your body, your home, even your website requires regular maintenance. Many people think that maintaining a website is primarily about fixing bugs that appear after it’s started, but it actually contains a lot more.
Updating the visual brand of the website, integrating with the new system, updating, or uploading new content is part of the ongoing website maintenance process.
Your website is the first impression your prospects have of your business and it needs to be constantly updated to meet the ever-changing demands of technology used in designing your website.
The price for a monthly website maintenance package varies depending on the size of your website, complexity, and functionality of your website, as well as the background, skillset, and pricing model of your service provider.
A small business may have to pay between $35 to $500 per month to maintain its website.
While a big-scale website with e-commerce functionality may invest a little more between $700 to $6,000 per month to maintain the website.
