behzad, what are you offering for a Dime? A dozen of what? Websites to be maintained?
I could offer 5 days @ 8 hours a day for a rate of £25/h so a site would have to outlay £1,000/y.
I could handle 50 sites a year.
Any offers?

Acorn, I will keep you in mind. I plan to retire soon and my xara clients are freaking out. I will push for a few more years. Btw, can they just use the html code without xara files to have a web designer use dreamweaver to update and maintain their site?
No, that would be a total disaster, behzad.
Any site that has to be supported needs to be built against some design. Without any documentation, changes will be become unmanageable.
The best you can do is rebuild each website and document every single thing so that you, another XDA developer or at worst the Customer can make and document their own changes.
Staging and version control are paramount so you need to inculcate a regression strategy.
Pick one of your current sites and use the Xara Import from web address facility. Note all the functionality, Names, Layers and the like that are missing. Document those first.
In the end that's what you were paid for.
If not, up your charges and ensure you have a robust annual support contract.

I thought I would offer up an approach to documenting a website to promote discussion:

I think the easiest way is to find a xara developer or tell them to purchase xara.
