Frequently Asked Questions


  • Do you offer monthly website maintenance contracts?  No, we build and repair websites when needed at a set cost per job.  The only monthly fee's we have are for some of those who contract for web site hosting services.

  • Are there discounts for purchasing more than one service from AlanBuilt?  Yes!  Fee's are based on our labor rate of $20 per hour, with a minimum $10 charge per job.  Often several updates can be performed for just a fraction of time extra, normally costing the same or slightly more than just a single update.

  • Are there initial set-up fee's for designing or updating a web site?  Fee's are based on man hours to perform any task at $20 an hour.  Initial setup of any web site or initial update takes more time, therefore any future update after the initial can cost as little as $10.

  • Are $5 updates billed at just $5?  Yes, a simple update to a few text items on a website hosted by a mainstream provider such as GoDaddy, Yahoo, AlanBuilt, or any website previously worked on by AlanBuilt is just $5.

  • What does it cost to update my email address in 2 locations on my web site and a photo?  Check our current pricing chart, but changing two text items with links and updating a photo would be a combined discounted cost of just $15 ( $5 for the two email addresses, plus $10 for a photo update).  Typically all first time customers will also incur a 1 time set-up fee of $20.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?  Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Money Order, Cashiers Checks, Personal Checks with prior approval.

  • The work you perform becomes my property?  Once a job is paid for, the customer becomes the legal owner with all rights to it.  There is no need for further contracts with us, and the customer retains ownership.

  • Does it cost extra to have my website backed up?  No.  We back up the work we perform for safe keeping at no extra charge.  If at any time you need access to that backup, that is provided online at no charge, or for a fee if you would like a hardcopy mailed to you (CD/DVD).  Backed up files can also be restored to a chosen location at a small fee based on our labor rate ($20 per hour).

  • Will you provide a CD or DVD of my web site I have you build?  A CD or DVD of your website can be made for a small fee and mailed to you.  Our work is available for access and download online for free from the link we provide you if you did not chose to have it uploaded to your hosting provider / web domain.
