Once you have a web site, it is vital that the site be maintained on a regular basis. Like a house or a car, your site needs regular maintenance to keep working well. If you don’t perform routine service, the site will slow down (at least) and be much more vulnerable to hacking.
I offer two levels of protection, as well as an hourly rate for changes and maintenance.

NOTE: You may cancel your monthly services at any time. I do not refund partial months. You can choose to receive one month free by purchasing an annual plan. You may cancel at any time during your annual plan. However, no refund of any portion of the annual plan fee will be made.
Malware and Blacklisting
If there is a problem, I will eradicate the offending errors if possible or restore the entire site from the most recent backup. If the site becomes blacklisted by any major search engine, the owner will be notified so they may take the appropriate action. If the site develops a serious infection that I cannot fix, then I will suggest using a service like Sucuri to rescue the site and continue to monitor it. Their services start at $199.99 per year but are golden for security.

Hourly Work
I do hourly work for site changes and maintenance not covered above. I invoice to the nearest quarter hour for established clients. My rate is $65 per hour, with a minimum of one hour for new clients. After-hours work accrues an extra fee.
