Many business folks don’t get around to doing the daily, weekly, or monthly upgrading of their business website. Perhaps you originally paid $200 US per hour to have it built, and can’t afford to continue at that inflated rate, or perhaps for lack of time, expertise, software, or connection, you don’t wish to do it yourself.

But fresh content is one of the important ways to keep site visitors interested–and you shouldn’t have to pay developer’s fees for simple upgrades or text replacement. My rates for ongoing site maintenance contracts are low, and yes, I do charge by the quarter-hour, not the hour. Why pay a full hour’s rate for the addition of a paragraph or two?
