Ongoing Maintenance Costs
Another pricing related concern for clients is typically the long term cost of ownership of a website. Through the NewfangledCMS, most typical maintenance items can be addressed directly by clients without ongoing expense. Changing text, uploading documents and images, creating new sub pages (such as product pages, press releases, etc.) can all be done through the NewfangledCMS. As a result, any ongoing financial investment that a client makes in their website will result in tangible site improvements, making it a better and more effective business and communication tool.
While the NewfangledCMS does allow clients to maintain virtually all of their site content, there are other kinds of changes that require Newfangled's ongoing help. For example, adding a new main category to a navigation system might require us to make adjustments to site templates. Adding additional NewfangledCMS applications or making database structure changes will also require our help. next >

February 24, 2009 11:32 AM Gentlemen, I would like to know if in your opinion the information re cost is still valid in 2009, since it stems from an update in july 2006. Thanks and regards, Mike Klewer |

June 6, 2009 3:59 PM Yes, it should cost more than a car because a good website adds value to the business and is the vehicle that drives in business whereas a car is only a liability and loses it's value over time. Not an asset for sure. |

October 10, 2009 1:13 AM I think there are some tools in internet that does this job.. lol. There are funny tools. But in my opinion cost of a website can only be predicted by that website administrator. He only knows the hard work and money he has invested in that. |
