Website Maintenance:
Hourly Website Maintenance:$75.00 per hour
The hourly website maintenance service is usually recommended for those that just have a couple of minor changes that need to be made once every month or two. If you anticipate updating your website on a regular basis (more than 3 times per month), then we suggest comparing our yearly option as it will certainly be more cost effective for you.
Major changes such as the addition of new pages to a website has an additional fee of $110.00 per page plus the hourly fee of $75.00 for any content that needs to be added to the new page.
Annual Website Maintenance:$900.00 annually
The yearly website maintenance service is again recommended for those that are striving to keep their website as current as possible. An average website that is maintained regularly can cost roughly $1,200 per year. With this option, you can save over 24% by paying for the entire year up front. In addition, with the yearly website maintenance service, you do not need to submit payments for after every individual maintenance session throughout the year.

Updates are completed within 24 hours of the time they are received, except weekends and holidays. Updates received after 3:00pm MST may not be completed until the next business day unless prior arrangements have been made. Time is based on actual total time involved in completing the updates at the time of billing (usually on or about the 15th of the month). There is a 2 hour minimum charge of $150.00 for updates made during any given monthly billing cycle. If no updates or changes have been requested, there is no monthly fee for maintenance.

With a Yearly Contract: Desired Image offers a yearly maintenance plan for regular monthly maintenace. $900 per year paid in advance. Equal to one hour per a 12 month period at $75.00 per hour.Although we make every effort to make accurate changes, it is the client's responsibility to review updates and notify us of any necessary changes that need to be made. We do not charge for changes that are our fault. However, if a change needs to be made due to client error, the regular hourly update fees will be charged.
We reserve the right to distinguish between "updates" and "new design". New design work is charged at our design rate.
Updates should be provided electronically (by email) as much as possible. Attachments should be in .txt or .doc (Word) format. Pictures need to be .jpg or .gif. Updates may also be sent by postal mail or by fax. These require retyping data or scanning photos and will cost more to complete the changes.
Your web site may be using third-party components (web site trackers, weather info-feeds, etc.). We have no control over what third party sites do and take no responsibility for loss of information due to actions of these sites. Any changes to your site stemming from regulations of these third party components will be billed at the normal hourly rate. (Example, A retail site might be connected to Authorize.net. If Authorize.net requires changes in the code, this will be billed as normal maintenance fees.)
