Website Maintenance Agreements—When Was the Last Time You Updated Your Website?
It's well known that the most effective websites, in terms of user response and search engine rankings, are updated frequently. And websites, just like cars, can break down. They need maintenance to keep running smoothly.
A monthly web maintenance agreement works just like taking your car in. If there's a problem, it's fixed. If you’d like to do some proactive maintenance or add new content to appeal to new customers, it's quickly done.
Here are a few reasons why a website needs maintenance:
1. Sometimes websites break. Simple fact. (Especially if you're not hosting with us!) Common causes include server connection issues, DoS attacks on servers connected to a website's host, presentation issues caused by web browser updates, third-party web application issues, old scripts/plug-ins that are incompatible with new browsers, etc. And when they break, they need fixing. Fast.
2. A website that isn't updated regularly quickly loses appeal with visitors. Which means less traffic, fewer potential customers, and lower search engine rankings.
3. New technology can help to better convey your site's message to your customers and make it more effective.
