You need to set your budgets for developments, marketing and maintenance of websites. Maintenance involves server costs, backend managers costs if backend available, new enhancements/ improvisations costs.

Add new content/ improvise existing content or features of the website/ APP. Upgrade the platform or plugins of the websites, so that it loads efficiently on all kinds of browsers. Also take periodic backups of the websites, in order to save the website from unforeseen virus attacks.

A backend manager always saves the website owner with lots of time to plan and rethink on marketing and upgrade strategies for the website. So if a website has a backend, a backend manager will always be a better option over you managing the backend yourself.

Images / fonts available over the search engines need not be always safe to use. Hence it is always better to buy licenses of images/ fonts for the website in order to avoid copyright claim fees. If license copyright claims come up, its sometimes even worth more than the entire development cost you have incurred and will put your budget for a toss.

You need to approach the development company who has done your website, and mention the change required and in which section/ page/ module. In case if you have an active maintenance package with the company, this can be covered under the same, else a maintenance package has to be applied for.
