Virtual Webmaster Detail
The benefits to our clients are three fold:
1. There is no need to employ a new staff member specifically for the site mantenance - making this a cost effective option.
2. Where clients do have the skills to maintain and update websites, they may not have the time - outsource this to us and ensure your website is always current and operating effectively.
3. Clients opting for the Virtual Webmaster service receive a discounted price on the service when compared to the standard hourly rate for ad-hoc maintenance - getting back to the cost effectiveness. Payment is spread over a 12 month period and payable quarterly.
Details of Service and Costs
Webmaster Contact - We will become the primary contact for all technical enquiries relating to your website. We fix any reported problems, answer generic Web site questions, and refer questions about your company or products to the appropriate person at your company, if they are routed to us.
Web Site Tuning - An integral part of a Webmaster's responsibility is the on-going tuning of your Web site for best visitor navigation and search engine rankings. Your Virtual Webmaster will make recommendations, and with your approval, make the necessary changes or enhancements.
Web Site Maintenance & Expansion - Because of the dynamic nature of most websites, they tend to expand and change on a regular basis, usually driven by visitor feedback or demand. Our Virtual Webmaster service will make it easy for you to have your Web site changed or improved. The Virtual Webmaster will create new Web pages, modify existing contact forms, scan photos and optimize them for the Web, basically any changes you require.
Cost of the Virtual Webmaster Service
The Virtual Webmaster service is paid for quarterly, and is based on an hourly fee of £30 (much less than standard commercial web development rates and ad-hoc maintenance rates). The monthly fee is £180 - payable quaterly, and includes the following as standard:
5 hours Web site maintenance (making requested changes)
0.5 hours Fine Tuning (check and resubmit search engine rankings; and more)
0.5 hours producing reports. Sent to you once a month, outlining work undertaken.
Any additional work on your Web site will be charged at the rate of £30 per hour.
Your Virtual Webmaster will estimate time to complete any requested improvements or modifications, and will not begin work until your approval has been received.Remember that Unlike "website support", your Virtual Webmaster is a proactive service, ensuring the smooth operation of your website and not reacting to problems.
Compare the above cost of £540 per quarter for the standard service, to the cost of hiring even a part-time employee, and it's not rocket science that this service will be a valuable asset to your business.
