Support packages
The next step for your website
Like a car, your website needs to be cared for to keep it in good working order.
From the essentials of keeping your website secure to monthly updates and improvements.
I offer three monthly packages to best suit your requirements with no lengthy contracts. You can upgrade at any time to make sure your website is always evolving to suit your business’s needs.
Packages available
Small website - Security updates
Large website - Security updates
Security and website content updates
Security and priority website content updates
Examples of the type of website updates I can carry out as part of the Standard and V.I.P packages:
- Add new content i.e articles, case studies
- Edit existing content
- Optimise images to make sure your website loads as fast as it can
- Basic styling changes
Major site changes and updates or development work will be quoted for as a separate project, however unused hours from the current month can be used towards this task.
V.I.P packages get priority in my workflow schedule, typically waiting no more than two working days once all information and assets are supplied by the client. Standard packages have a scheduled time of 4-10 working days.
Rates
A summary of my skills and experience can be found on my About me page. My rates are competitive within the industry and I usually charge in one of two ways:
Per Project
My usual method of pricing is to take your project brief and then give you a total cost quotation based on the number of hours I think it will take me to complete the task. Once the brief and quotation are agreed upon by both parties (as well as a contractual agreement), I will commit to that quotation, even if the project takes longer than I anticipated. This of course does not take into account changes to the project brief or third-party expenses such as hosting or software licensing costs.
Per Hour
I do have clients who prefer to hire me by the hour and this model works well for clients who wants some simple consultancy with either their website or IT setup. When I’m charging by the hour, I charge in one hour blocks.
Invoicing
I usually invoice for part payment at various stages of the project. This is to protect myself as well as help you manage your costs and budget. Invoices are to be paid within 14 days.

Testimonials
Here is feedback from some of my satisfied clients.
“Michael was shortlisted to be the lead developer to complete the website brief for The Edtech Podcast. His expertise in Themify really stood out as did his clear processes and communication and friendly manner. I would highly recommend Michael for any web build project. Since launch, I have had multiple positive comments about the website”
“Michael recently made some major changes to our website to improve user experience and make it more compliant with Google’s new mobile first policy. Since making the changes, we have seen a large increase in traffic and enquiries.”
“When we first contacted Michael, he was an avid reader of our website and he accepted to help us a little with design and layout. Later, we hired him properly to improve the usability of our website and to make it easier to navigate. He did not disappoint us. Working with Michael has always been enjoyable and we would recommend him anytime.”
“I’m one of those people who tries to do everything myself. So far I’ve managed that with filming and editing, but when it comes to web design it just made sense for me to outsource it and focus on the things that I can do well. That’s why I asked Michael if he would put together my site and I really couldn’t be happier.”
