Short answer

The cost to update a website depends on what changes. Small content edits cost little or are included in a maintenance plan, new pages and redesigns cost more, and software updates are ongoing. At Survyc, small edits are included in plans from $99 a month, and one-off changes are quoted as a fixed price or an hourly estimate.

What kinds of updates are there?

  • Small edits (hours, prices, photos): included in most maintenance plans.
  • New pages (a service page or ad landing page): priced per page, or one a month on a growth plan.
  • Design changes (a new homepage layout): priced per page or as a small project.
  • Software updates (WordPress, plugins, theme): covered by monthly maintenance.

What does Survyc charge?

  • Essential Care, $99 a month: software updates plus three small edits a month.
  • Growth Care, $299 a month: unlimited small edits, one at a time, plus one new page or redesign a month.
  • One-off changes: a fixed price or hourly estimate, approved before work starts.

Over a year, that is $1,188 with 36 small edits, or $3,588 with no cap. See the full monthly website maintenance packages.
