What You Should Know About Website Editing Fees

Editing fees.

Let’s be real, most agencies don’t tell you about their editing fees.

They only let you know after you need edits.

And then comes the bill...

Hundreds to thousands of ringgit just for some edits

That could be 2-3x the cost of the "cheap website" you got!

Here’s why you need to ask about editing costs before you build a site, and what to watch out for.

---

1. Edits are not the same as revisions

Revisions are the changes you make while the site is being built.
(“Move this button here, change this image, adjust the headline.”)

Edits are the changes you need after launch.
(“Update my phone number, add a new service, upload new photos.”)

Some agencies blur the line on purpose, so they can charge you for every tiny thing.

2. The “minimum charge” scam

Need to update one line of text?

That’ll be RM200...
One photo? RM150...
One page? RM400...

Agencies love to use “minimum editing fees” on simple tasks, things that can literally take 2 minutes to complete.

But they know, it’s not about the work.

It’s about squeezing more money out of you.

3. The “package cap” trap

Some agencies say you get “X number of edits per month.”

Sounds fair, until you realise:

• Small changes eat up your quota.
• Unused edits don’t roll over.
• Going over the cap is going to cost you more.

Your business doesn’t grow on a fixed schedule.

So why should your website be limited by these rules?

4. The “DIY lock-in”

Some agencies could give you access to edit your own site… but they don’t.

Because if you can’t do it yourself, you have to go through them.

And guess what?

More fees.

Even if it means you don't know how to edit it yourself, getting access to your website is still curcial for website ownership.

✅ Always ask: “Do I have full admin access to edit my own site?”

---

5. Transparency = trust

Good agencies will be clear:

• What counts as an edit
• Whether edits are unlimited or capped
• If you can make changes yourself
• Whether edits are included in your monthly fee

If they’re vague, it’s on purpose.

And that’s your red flag.
