    Hi,

    Just looking for some guidance. Looking for a website developer who will create, host and maintain the website of a company?

    They are willing to pay monthly hosting fees for this, as they don't have expertise to use content management system like Wordpress themselves.

    What type of fees would you be looking at?

    What type of a site is it going to be ? If the updates are straightforward then they shouldn't need much expertise, and while Wordpress can be painful in relation to media updates there are other CMSs that would allow this to be done quickly and easily - as fast as it would be to send an email to an updater saying what you wanted done.

    Other than that, it would depend on the complexity or frequency of the updates - once a month / once a day / once a week or whatever - and you'd be charged based on the estimated time, with a discount if there were lots of manageable updates (e.g. if someone wanted me once a month for a day for these I might throw in the 12th day for free).

    PM me if you don't want to reveal too much on boards.
