When to Let the Pros Do It

  • You site looks great and you want to keep it that way.
  • You don’t have the time to learn the skills. The more sophisticated and complex your website looks, the more skills are needed to update it.
  • You need timely updates done professionally but cannot sacrifice your time or staff time to do it during the business day.
  • You don’t want to spend your evenings figuring out web site architecture.
  • You just want to send updates in an email or text and know it’s being handled.

When to Do All or Some Web Updates In-House

  • You have a lot of time on your hands.
  • You’re willing to spend time and money obtaining the training you need to keep your site looking professional.
  • You have professional software to handle graphics and images and you know how to use it.
  • Your website requires immediate updates on a frequent or daily basis.

*Hosting prices may be slightly higher than shown if you have CMS, embedded outside content feeding into your web site, computation databases, rain maps, or other interactive features.
