(Newswire.net — December 25, 2013) St. Louis, MO. — St. Louis web design companies that want to extract more money from clients often throw in maintenance contracts with their web development offers. They will make the maintenance offer very affordable making it seem like they are giving the clients a deal they shouldn’t pass up on.
What some business owners don’t know is that they could be falling for a scam. Some web development companies will offer maintenance contracts because they know there are businesses owners who do not understand what goes on behind websites. These St. Louis web development companies know they can charge clients good money for tasks that they can do very quickly, or some tasks they know they won’t even have to do often or do at all. They just make the tasks seem more complicated than they are so that the clients will feel overwhelmed and give the web development company free reign over the management of the websites.
There are, however, companies that do the right thing for clients. They offer the best services for the most reasonable prices and do not dupe clients into paying for services they do not require.
A St. Louis Web Design company called A Fresh Web Design creates websites that require very little maintenance. If you want an informational website with content that does not need to change much, A Fresh Web Design can create one for you without a maintenance contract.
“For small businesses, we purposely create low-maintenance websites. We know how valuable time is for small business owners so we create websites they don’t need to spend a lot of time on. The sites are also created correctly the first time so that the business owner can relax and have a good website up and running within a reasonable turn-around time,” Rich Rohrbach, president of A Fresh St. Louis Web Design, explained.
“Of course the case is different for major websites that constantly need to change. For such projects, we analyze what the clients need, work out a web development plan for them, and then proceed to explain what creating such a website entails. Yes, sometimes, the package would require a contract that has a monthly maintenance fee. Whenever this is the case, we provide a breakdown of the maintenance tasks that the site requires and clearly explain the fees involved,” Rohrback added. “A lot of times though, the companies that approach us are small St. Louis companies that require easy-to-manage sites; and what the clients need, we simply deliver.”
