If a client spends that much on a site initially, and does not have a
proportional budget for maintaining the site on an ongoing basis (by hiring
contractors, or in house full timers), then this is very very poor planning,
and they are setting themselves to fail. Whether this is their own fault,
their consultant's fault, or a shared one is just details.

Web sites and the software they run on are never static. They are always
changed in one way or another.
