My main deal is
3 pages, 3
edits, 3 updates, for £30 a year off your leaflet
This is a good simple
offer, however, everyone has their own unique idea for their
website, and many sites don't fit in with this simple offer.
However, we can use it as a starting point to sort out the
other questions.
If I build the
first 3 pages, then what ? There are many possible variations
on this - we need to discuss exactly what you want (see
planning your site), and then we
can sort out the money issues.. You could have more pages
and/or more updates, and estimates for the cost of these
are given in the Price List.
But, it is more complex than that - I can only give the
following notes about my position:
The key thing
for me is my time:-
 The things
which take time are Rewriting and Editing your Text,
Revising the Design of your Pages, Expanding the site
(building links) and Setting up Applications (Message
Boards, etc.) - often all the existing pages need to be
changed, and this is why some of the charges are quite high
An
update means to 'cut and paste' new text into a template
for you, it only takes a minute, and this is built into
my charges. (the same applies to new photos)
Uploading
new pages takes no time - so no charge
If you
want to learn to run your own site, then helping you learn
site design and management takes some time, but I hope you
will buy more sites from me, so there is no charge for this.
I see this as a good investment.
I like
it if someone is going to take on their own site - however,
there needs to be a handover - you must tell me if the handover
needs to be a week, a month, or a year - I have no way of
knowing this unless you tell me !
If I
am writing your pages for you, then you don't need
to learn about file management or file transfer, but I hope
you will operate the Control Panel yourself
If I
am doing something for you almost every month, there is
a point where this is more than 'helping you', it is 'managing
your site' and this must be recognised in the scale of charges.
