Maintenance Fees
Site Changes & Support: $50/hour
Hourly freelance rate for website changes, image editing, code changes and anything else that isn't a general question or bug-fix.
Visit the support page to request a change.
Rush Service
Rush Changes: $100/hour
Expedited maintenance option for people who don't want to wait in my ticket queue or be limited to the Monday/Friday support schedule. Availability isn't guaranteed, but I'll respond within 24 hours if I'm unable to accommodate the rush request.
Cost Estimates
The following gives an idea of what specific maintenance tasks usually cost. However, the prices can vary if a lot of back and forth revisions are needed. The prices below don't apply if you are requesting Rush service (which is always charged at an hourly rate)
Design Photo Changes: $5-$15/revision
This is the typical cost of swapping out photos built into your design. Most photos will be $5 unless we have to do multiple revisions or I need to do touch-ups/special editing on your photos
Banner Creation : $25
Cost for an additional banner if no more than two revisions are needed.
Color Pallet Change : $200+
Chaning the color pallet requires creating new graphics and editng the code which defines colors for your site, so it's a more lengthy update. This is the typical cost if no layout changes are made, though it varies depending on how many revisions we do.
Maintenance for Design Clients
I'm available for paid maintenance after your website is launched, but request that clients use VedaCMS for any changes that can be done within the software.
If you have a problem using VedaCMS or are unsure of how to do something, please feel welcome to contact me and I'll walk you through the process. Due to the high volume of support requests I receive each week, I generally won't make site changes for ladies that they can do on their own in VedaCMS (unless they still can't manage it after several attempts).
If you need a change made that can't be performed within VedaCMS, I am happy to do it for you at my standard maintenance rate. Examples would be: switching out page photos in the design, modifying your layout, adding/removing pages from your menu and anything else that can't be performed in VedaCMS.
Requesting Maintenance
To request a change to your website, please open a support ticket from my support page .
Because my general inbox address (tara@) is always flooded, I ask that clients only use my support email (support@vedadesigns.net) when requesting help or changes. Please visit the support page for more information and announcements.
Maintenance/Freelance for Non-Design Clients
Due to an insanely full schedule, I'm currently unable to offer freelance or maintenance services to the genreral public.
However, if you're just looking for someone to do basic text or gallery changes on your website, feel free to inquire about possibly having my VedaCMS Website manager installed on your site.
I don't officially sell it yet as standalone service, but I've made exceptions in the past for a handful of people that requested using it.
If your site is eligible, the cost would be $100 plus whatever amount of time it takes to intstall. Installation usually requires about four hours, but poorly coded sites that need an overhaul will take longer. Include your website url when you email so I can see what shape your code is in.
Your hosting server would also need to meet certain requirements in order for VedaCMS to function properly.
