  5. Available Options • Continue having our graphic designer update the site as needed, and hire a developer for software changes. • Hire a full-time Web developer to maintain the entire site. • Hire a contractor to maintain the entire site on an as-needed basis. • Hire a company to maintain the entire site.

  6. Graphic Designer • Advantages • Already on staff • Already trained to make most changes • Disadvantages • Is busy with other job responsiblities • Costs • Cannot make software changes; would have to hire a Web developer at $75 per hour for software changes

  8. Contractor • Advantages • Could make all changes necessary as needed • One person to deal with • Disadvantages • Would take time to hire the right person • Would have other clients; no guarantee that changes would be made immediately • Costs • Hourly charges; approximately $20,000 per year

  9. Web Site Maintenance Company • Advantages • Could make all changes necessary as needed • Disadvantages • Would take time to find the right company • Would have other clients; charges might not be made right away • Costs • Hourly charges depending on the type of change • Approximately $30,000 per year

  10.
