I need a bigger website than the Gold Package?
That is not a problem. As we offer a fully bespoke service, we can negotiate rates based on your requirements.

What if I need regular maintenance and updates?
All our packages come with full maintenance, based on a maximum of 1 hours work per month. This is flexible, and therefore should you need to do a large update once every six months then this would not be a problem. If you needed regular large updates then we would need to negotiate an upgraded service contract.
