Website Maintenance

Our team of web developers and SEO experts has one goal, to help your businesses grow online. Website maintenance is often overlooked because most business owners do not realize what tasks they must address to maintain their site correctly. Letting backend website maintenance go by the wayside can have you faced with costly repairs that could have been prevented with a website maintenance plan. By addressing the needs of your software, integrations, and security, more significant concerns can be avoided by mitigating them earlier in their life cycle!

What does website maintenance consist of?Website maintenance is necessary to keep your website running as expected, to avoid security breaches, and to fix any bugs that might be causing a conflict in software. During maintenance, each area requiring an update is tested for compatibility. This helps ensure that all integrations, visibility, and user experience perform as expected.

Some of the areas updated/addressed are:

• Cloud Backups
• Website security monitoring and addressing of any areas that are weak or need attention.
• Plug-in updates
• Theme update (as needed)
• Core update (as needed)
• PHP update (as needed with access to the client’s server)
• Form checks and Contact Form Database review/export
• Merchant integration testing (Woo Commerce Clients)

Is the cost of website maintenance worth it?Website hosting, website security (antivirus and malware), website cloud backups, contact form databases, core updates to the theme, and even the PHP scripting to ensure a dynamic and interactive website takes time and resources. But, leaving this work to a professional not only saves you time but also money. 

When looking at the cost of website maintenance, keep in mind a few things:

• Frequency – Websites need updates often, and how long in between maintenance can depend on the number of plug-ins used and any rising security concerns. These updates can be needed quarterly or even monthly. 
• Time – Maintenance takes time. Often between 3-5 hours, depending on the size of the site and the number of updates. 
• Budget – By foregoing website maintenance, it can often lead to costly repairs. Ensuring the continuity of your website and its health is priceless. Can you afford to have your website down for an unknown time?
