I'd like to reduce that to just a few... I hate managing & maintenance.

By manage, I assume it means providing support, upgrades, etc.. nothing along the lines of content management.

I usually support past projects for about 2 years, for a hourly fixed fee negotiated prior to the project beginning. This is done to keep the amount of websites down to a minimum. Of course, this only applies to freelance.

I only have my companies website which I really manage, from server to code. Me and my friend are usually trying to get a website off the ground but never finish it so its an off and on between 1 and 2.

Anyway, I would never want more than that again. My last company put me in charge of a bunch of sites that were done in cold fusion and some ancient MS database and it all sucked so badly. I would get calls from silly customers who would call me at 4:55pm on a Friday and have me on the phone for 2 hours making tiny tiny changes to things like the positioning of text. Never again.

10 - 20 for me. There's about 10 major ones, and a handful of little ones that I've picked up along the way. I've no idea how many I've coded over the last 10 years ... must be over 100.
