care for your business.

WHAT IS WEBSITE MAINTENANCE?
In a nutshell, website maintenance refers to keeping your site in proper working condition. It’s an integral part of keeping your site healthy and secure.

Website maintenance includes a wide range of processes, such as checking for and installing updates, monitoring uptime and security, and optimizing content for search engines. More specific tasks will be involved depending on your site type.
For example, e-commerce sites generally have more complex needs than personal blogs.

WHY DO I NEED WEBSITE MAINTENANCE?
For some, choosing to forego regular maintenance and handle issues as they come might seem like the most cost-effective choice. After all, how much work could your website possibly need if you spent thousands of dollars to have it built in the first place?

You need website maintenance to keep your website performing optimally and reduce long-term costs. It’s like buying a car. It may work great at first, but eventually, it will need some tuning up if you want it to last.

Benefits of care plans:

  • peace of mind that all software is up to date, secure against any unwelcome attacks, and that your website is online and operational for your customers and users

  • quick restore if anything goes wrong

  • assistance with managing the content on your site

  • continual improvement of search engine visibility and results
