Maintenance is just as important for a website as it is for a car, a home or yourself. Many businesses have their websites built using the flashiest, most expensive means possible. Then they don’t touch them again for a year or two, presumably because they think that once it is built “they will come!” If only it were that simple.
Having a successful website requires regular maintenance and service to keep it updated so that search engines know that it is current. If you don’t do the maintenance, then they will rank you accordingly and your website (and your business) will not be found by potential clients.
Some clients choose to do the maintenance themselves, but others find it easier to pay the maintenance service fee and let us do it on a regular basis. We can provide scheduled backups, regular news updates and price adjustments and nearly any other service activity that would be needed.
*NOTE: We do not provide this service for sites that we did not build.
What is it?
Site maintenance is about caring for your website. Coaxing it into life, keeping it safe from attack and of course, getting the most from your website. Plugins, themes and links are kept up-to-date. Spam and comments are looked after and search engines are reminded that your site exists.
As a serious business owner, you already know about the potential for growth from trading online. You now have a stunning new website that is your shop window to the world. Publishing your website did not happen by accident. It took time and invariably money to get to the stage you are at. But just getting to this stage is not enough.
Long gone are the days when the common approach was to simply publish and believe that if you ‘build it, they will come’. It will not work. There are hundreds of millions of active websites on the internet. The average search result competes against over 70 million possibilities for a single search term.
Our website design services are underpinned by our professional website maintenance schedule that will ensure your website remains healthy while increasing your profits.
Search engines have literally billions of web pages to rank and competition is extremely fierce. There are also numerous potential online threats that you have to consider, from Ransomware to Hijacking, neither of which would be much fun. With a site maintenance service provided by web-works, you will have put your business ahead of the rest!
