    Hi Folks,
    I have no clue of web design or anything related to it, but I find myself needing to research.
    I am a member of a Board of Management of a reasonably large secondary school. I have been tasked just today with finding out how much it would cost to get a website (already existing) maintained. I mean technical issues dealt with, content uploaded etc. An annual figure that would cover everything.
    Thanks in advance.

    I suppose that really depends on the amount of updates it needs / technical issues there are that need addressing, type of website it is (framework / language) and so on

    There is a sticky on the design forum for jobs you could post there.
    We could give you a quote but as Buford says we would need more details than you have provided.
    Please pm if you would be interested in our services.

    You need provide a decent specification in order to get decent figures. Perhaps start with what you already have and what you reckon you would like.

    Squarespace. Seriously it’ll save you headaches in the future.

    I've helped out Lucan Community College with some updates to their WordPress website (update WordPress, plugins and create a child theme). They post a lot of content updates themselves.
    For me it's not much work and I do it on an add-needed basis.

    When I developed a WordPress website for a 2 stream primary school it didn't need much maintenance work either. I would sometimes add code or features to fix small issues as they arose.
