Your website is an important asset especially if your business heavily relies on it. You need to make sure that you have set aside some money for repairs and maintenance. But how much does a repair cost? Our SEO expert and web developer shares the usual price range and tips to avoid repairs in the first place.
How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Website?
It depends on the size of the website; it depends on the complexity. On the most basic level, if it is something like a Wix, Shopify, or WordPress non-ecommerce website, that should be easy.
Anything from five hundred dollars to ten thousand dollars, in extreme cases, but again, ten thousand dollars to fix a website does not make any sense. At those prices, developers will tell you, “I will just build you a new one and migrate everything.”
Building a New Website
So, just consider that when a developer tells you, “Hey, I will build you a new one.” Do not be frightened; they will migrate everything, well, hopefully successfully, depending on the developer, but it should not be an issue if you have a backup of the website. So if anything happens, you still have the old one, and you can still use it.
Always Back Up
That is also a very good tip for web developers: always back up. I know a lot of them do not do it, I do not know why. Just back up your stuff, put it on a little flash drive, put it on your Google Drive, and put it on the client’s computer. Just make sure you have redundancy so that you do not only have one backup, and then your dog eats it.
