What Kind of Support Can I Get?
To remain effective, your website can't stand still. Whether you need a simple content update or a completely new feature, Web Ideas is here to help. Our customer support packages give you flexible access to ongoing help with as little or as much as you need, when you need it.
You can choose either from our:
- Hosting PLUS Support Plan with a fixed amount of support time at a discounted price each month (starting at 30 minutes)
- Pay-As-You-Go Support where you only pay for the support you use, charged by the minute, purchased in 30 minute blocks.
Our hosting and domain packages also include technical support to make sure your site stays up and running.
Pricing
Our Pay-As-You-Go support plans give you the flexibility to get changes made to your site whenever you need them, and pay by the minute for the time you use. Our rates start at $150 (+GST) per hour.
