American University Website Maintenance and Theming Paper Background: Bob’s Small Time Grocery has reviewed the latest prototype and there are concerns over on-going maintenance costs of their site. Disregarding the complexity of creating and maintaining a web site, they have asked for options that would allow them to maintain the site layout and content themselves. You must provide several web site builder options and how you can help the customer succeed.

For this assignment, you will create 4 pages in Weebly that will demonstrate their site with a specific set of tools. You will also write an assessment that explains the differences with self-maintenance versus your company maintaining the web site. This assessment is intended to provide fair options between services you can provide for maintenance or services you can provide for training.

Writing Guidelines:

Prepare an assessment document that will be 2-3 pages in length
Use a “12” point font (Arial or Times New Roman)
Use single-spaced lines instead of double-spaced
Use APA style citations for any references
Cite any information referenced from another source
Use correct sentence structure and grammar

Assessment Document Components:

Maintain a professional tone when presenting options for a customer who is uncertain of the overall costs and risks.
Provide a brief comparison of Weebly and SquareSpace, which includes their costs, hosting plan limits, and helpful features they provide. You can get all of this information from their public sites, so you do not need to sign up for a SquareSpace trial. Select Weebly as your preferred web site builder since you will create 4 pages using that tool for the other part of the assignment.
Discuss the pros and cons of the customer maintaining the site content and theming.
Discuss the pros and cons of your company maintaining the site content and theming.
Discuss how you can provide services to train their staff on how to use the WYSIWYG tools and gain the most value. Paste the URL to the Weebly site created for this assignment here.
Discuss how you can provide services to maintain the site content and theming on a contractual basis.
Discuss how you can provide a blend of these services to maintain content for a period of time and provide training for the customer to maintain over the long-term.
