Self-Maintainable Websites
You must choose a Content Management System if you would like a blog, but we generally recommend this option for all the websites we design as well. Content Management Systems make your site easier and faster to manage. You can add and update pages yourself with the click of a few buttons, no technical experience required. Plus, you can easily add even more functionality to your website with plugins.
We typically recommend Wordpress as it is free to use and we feel it is the most user friendly of all the Content Management Systems available. However, depending on your website or blogging needs, Movable Type or Expression Engine may also be viable options.

Website Maintenance
While a CMS does make it possible to maintain your website yourself, we understand that not everyone has the time or desire to do this. That's why we offer maintenance on all the blogs and websites we design. Maintenance can be done at regular intervals for months, days or years. Or you are free to email your designer whenever you need something done to your site. Most maintenance work is based on our hourly fee, but payment plans may be worked out for regular website maintenance.
