Maintaining your website
After your site is up and running, keeping your site and information current is highly recommended. For companies that do not have an on-staff webmaster to maintain and update their site, DesignXcereta offers a monthly maintanance service that can handle anything from small copy changes to additions of large amounts of new content, pages and products. Whatever your upkeep need is, we can cover it. Maintanance contracts start as little as $25 monthly and your changes will normally get implemented the same day.
For sites that wish to build search engine traffic, DesignXcetera has maintanance plans that involve not only maintaining their site, but also building out their search rank. Search engines love current content and most websites benifit from updates. DesignXcetera has flexible plans that will fit your site and your budget.
Anyone who has a website knows that getting it up "live" is just the beginning. Once your website is established it needs to be checked, updated and backed up at least on a monthly basis.
Dynamic Content Sites and the Importance of Backup
Today's sites are much different from those a few years back. Today, more and more sites make use of dynamic, or readily updated content . Examples of such are E-commerce sites, review sites, communities, blogs, and any site that allows user interaction, customer comments, contact forms, reviews and updates.
Web 2.0 started a trend in Internet. The trend in sites connecting to their users in real time.
Unlike their predasessors, today's sites have content that changes daily, whether its products, comments or updates, and need a solid back-up and maintanance plan to make sure your precious content is never lost.
Upgrades and security
Web applications need to be upgraded to the latest versions when available. Unlike your desktop machine that is only accessed by you, websites are open for anyone to access. Keeping your website software up to date keeps your site more secure and lowers the risk of security breaches and hacks.
Most small businesses do not have a full-time webmaster and normally do not have the workload to keep even a part-time webmaster busy. The majority of small business sites only need 2 to 5 hours a month in webmaster services. DesignXcetera has cost effective options for companies that do not have their own webmaster.
