Some clients, though it happens rarely, ask us how many hours we need every month for managing the website? This question is very important since it gives the customer an idea for evaluating the viability of the service we offer them every month. In this article, we will try to explain how long it takes to manage a website so that it is maintained and updated as required.

How Long Does It Take To Manage a Website?

When you buy a product off the shelf, let’s say a new phone, you know all the details ahead of time, thanks to technical specifications that are true for every device sold around the world. On the other hand, when we purchase a professional and ongoing service such as website management, we don’t necessarily know exactly what we’re getting in the short or long term.

ask us anything! its free 🙂

    Since we want to know what we are expected to receive before we order a service, we must examine some parameters:

    • What does the service include?
    • What is the availability of the service provider to us?
    • How much time will be spent working on our website?

    In this article, we will focus on the last parameter of these three: time.

    How Much Time Is Required to Manage a Website Sufficiently?

    In website management, like in other professional fields, the service provider must commit to a minimum (and maximum) billable hours for their client so that the client knows that anything they may require will be included in the agreement and that the website will be updated frequently and get great visibility.

    Since you don’t know how many hours are required for this, here’s a summary of the number of hours needed for different types of websites:

    We mean it, ask us anything!

      • Management of an image website – 12 hours per month.
      • Management of a services website – 24 hours per month.
      • Management of an e-commerce website – 24-36 hours per month.
      • Management of a community website – 36-72 hours per month.

      Let’s explain.

      Similar to SEO where minimum billable hours (12) are required to achieve results, with website management there’s a reasonable hour range that will allow the website manager to work properly and optimize the website.

      • Managing corporate websites only requires a small amount of time since the possible changes to the website are quite limited.
      • Managing service websites requires more time since services must be updated frequently and quickly.
      • Managing e-commerce websites requires a lot of continuous work on products, costs, stocks, etc.
      • Managing community websites requires a designated employee for several hours every day to keep the community alive.

      But, not only the differences between the types of websites affect the time requirements. The type of customer and the degree of availability and updates required by him also affect the hours offered.

      In conclusion,
