A Blog would be the best option to keep control of your maintenance costs.
- Would not be dependent on a certain web designer to modify.
- Accessible by the site owner - From any computer in the world, to add and edit content as
they wish without having to own expensive software.
- Able grow with a business - Incorporate things later that may not be needed in the
beginning, like testimonials, contact forms, surveys, audio, video...
- Built with search engines in mind - Every time a new page is added, a unique page specific
title tag would be automatically generated. The description tag too, would automatically
come from the first 150 characters of text on the new content page.
- An RSS Feed notifies subscribers that your site has updated.
- They can be tweaked with plug-ins, to do just about anything.
- A site map is generated and then notifies Google to come an index your site.
While all these things might take place individually with the proper systems in place and a lot of
effort, a blog is an all-in-one solution. Blogs are literally so easy, a caveman can do it. So a
maintenance agreement probably isn't needed. However, Compugasm Media will guide and train
you as needed to get you rolling.
- The Client pays a fixed monthly rate for such things as changing prices to eCommerce
items, adding additional inventory, making moderate graphic changes.
- The customer pays on an 'as needed' hourly basis.

Setting up the site and the store is the easy part. You've already sent me some text in a Word
document that I could use, for demonstration purpose, in setting up an example site for you.
I've looked at similar sites that sell eBooks, and notice that this website for Jimmy Brown has
some graphics, book covers, pictures, and testimonials. I assume this is similar to what you are
looking to do.
