Website maintenance can cover a lot of different things but, in short, it’s the essential upkeep that keeps your website and the platform or CMS it’s running up to date.

A quick website maintenance checklist would include:

• – CMS updates include:
  • – Security patches
  • – Updating plugins
  • – Fixing anything that might have stopped working as a result of the updates
• – Cross-browser testing, to ensure the site is working in new and updated browsers
• – Device compatibility, to ensure the site is working for all supported devices, including new releases
• – Server-side updates including regular backups
• – Support, including help with using the CMS
• – Bug fixing – which can be very important for complex or functional web apps
• – A guaranteed response time to queries

This will depend on the type of website you have and your expertise. If your website doesn’t enable you to do it by yourself, we can suggest you options about converting your website into a CMS (Content Management System).

Maintenance of the website is important to any business, whatever its size. Your website is a worldwide gateway into your business and it can have a big impact on how the value of your product or service is perceived. A well-kept website is important for the service industries in real-time. To attract and retain clients, sustain search engine rankings, and present new content, products, and services to the public all companies need routine website maintenance. Website maintenance is also required to keep the website value over time.

Websites with old content rank lower in listings of search engines. Many search engines, including Google, will scan the “if-modified-since” HTTP header on your page to decide if it’s worth crawling. Failure to make frequent changes could cause you to be pushed in the listings below active competitors, and overtime cost your business.

Website maintenance is billed in one-hour blocks only.
