Future Web Site Maintenance Cost

You can always plan on web site updates to take 1.5 times longer than it would take to make simple corrections and updates in a regular word processor such as Microsoft Word, Lotus or Appleworks. You must consider that adding new web graphics involves color correction, cropping and compression optimizing for web site speed including deleting old documents from the web server and keeping a clean and efficient system just like your own office or home. Other considerations include the promotion of the web site and how difficult it is to get high ranking listings on the search engines for your specific keywords. If you are in a competitive field of most searched keywords then you can expect higher web site costs associated with your site. All web sites must be resubmitted to the search engines every 3 months to ensure placement and not getting "mysteriously" dropped.


Here are a few examples to consider:
Keep in mind that this is only a basic idea. NOT actual costs.

  • A 1-5 page site should have $100 to $200 in maintenance fees per quarter.
  • 5-10 pages can average between $300 to $1000 per quarter.
  • 10-20 pages can average $500 to $2000.
