Once your website is online and visible to the 'world', someone now has to have the ability and access rights, to make changes to your website when ever the need arises.

Who might that person be?

• A staff member who has the time and skills?
• You, as the owner?
• A family friend? (Do they really know what to do?)
• A Miniwebs consultant (who DOES know what to do, efficiently)

Self-maintenance

  • No cost involved
  • Total control over when and what is changed on the website

  • Uncertainty of 'how' to update some areas of the website. May need extra training.
  • Formatting and layout may become 'broken'.
