Web
site maintenance services are provided by Simply Web Services and
are considered very valuable to a site's life. There is nothing more upsetting
to a visitor that visiting a site that has outdated information or has
not been updated since the site was first placed online.
What
is web site maintenance?
Web
site maintenance is much more than spelling corrections and the like. Web
site maintenance can consist of updating content, changing photos and other
minor adjustments. Your hosting provider should always be responsible for
problems that occur on your web site that are not caused by you. In other
words, if the server crashes, you should not have to worry about it nor
should you have to pay to have it fixed. If your provider is asking for
something like that, then it is probably time to move to a new provider.
Web site maintenance should be geared toward changes to your site. Many companies
will charge you to make a change to your site. Regardless of how minor
the change, it requires the developer to take time to make the change
and to verify that the change is correct. Let's say that you sell clocks,
and you need to change the prices on your web site. The developer says
that it will take him 2 hours to make all the changes (at $100.00 an hour).
If you normally make monthly changes like that, then you may want to invest
in a maintenance package. Most developers will sell the package at a discount.
Maintenance also means that the developer will take care of your logs and
storage space, making sure everything is just right. At Simply Web Services
we recommend purchasing a maintenance package. For the average web
site 1 hour a month will generally have you covered for most changes. Oh,
by the way at Simply Web Services, we never charge to fix a spelling
error, if there is an error, we fix it at no charge, and we would not have
it any other way.
Do
I need web site maintenance?
If
your web site goes beyond merely providing a web presence, be it to advertise
products and services or perhaps you wish to provide current and up-to-date
information, than your web site will require constant on-going revisions.
Even if the information and/or products and services of your business or
organization are static, you may wish for your web site to change its look
from time to time. We can change the look and organization of your web
site as well as make changes to information contained within it.
