Where to go for minor website changes?

I’m a web developer and often have friends bug me whenever they want something changed on their website. It’s generally small things like adding a logo or a social media sharing button etc. Often it’s just too much hassle to go through all the effort of doing something so small and I hate getting hassled a number of times to make it perfect.

Does anyone else have a similar problem to me and wish there was a place we could send all our noobie non-tech friends to get their minor website changes done?

These sorts of small changes aren’t going to be enough work to go through a proper agency with and most of my friends who are also developers don’t have time for this stuff either.

I don't have that problem with websites but I do with everything else. People assume that because I have a 20+ year old degree in computer science that I know what's wrong with their MallWart Greenline 280ZX Turbocharged Inkjet Photo Printer/Document Scanner/Coffee Maker and usually I can get no more information out of them from 3,000 miles away than "it just stopped working!"

I now feign even more ignorance than I actually have. "Sorry, I'm a developer, I mostly deal with data queries. I don't know anything about hardware." If feigning ignorance doesn't work maybe just sugar coat the simple truth "I'd really love to help but I have so many projects going on that I'm afraid if I take the time to help you out I'm going to risk meeting deadlines with my paid clients".

Also encourage them to learn how to do simple changes themselves.
