Web Site Administration

Web site management and regular website maintenance are essential for keeping your website fresh, appealing, up-to-date and not vulnerable to security issues such as being hacked. Without consistent and regular website management and maintenance, your website will eventually become nothing more than a static brochure, which will not do justice to the growing and dynamic nature of your business.  If you want to give your customers up-to-the-minute information about your products and services, your website needs this ongoing maintenance and attention. Google also rewards fresh content.

Below are our 4 maintenance options:

Maintaining your web site is simple and cost effective

Are you a business owner with more work than hours in the day? Our CMS managed and/or self-managed websites and maintenence plans are a low cost solution to this problem.

Now you no longer have to hire an expensive, in-house web developer to keep your website fresh and up to date. Delegate staff or one of our staff to keep content fresh, your web site looking professional, and your updates not impeding the search engines.

Web Site Maintenance can also include:

  • Content & Copy Updates
  • News Alerts
  • Press Releases
  • Industry-Related News Stories
  • New Product / Service Bulletins
  • Product & Pricing Changes
  • Staff / Personnel Changes
  • Updating Hyperlinks
  • Graphic Changes
  • New Web Pages
  • Overall Appearance
  • and much more...

Below is a screenshot taken on March 6, 2008 of an actual website that was hacked. This is just one example of web sites without employing maintenance and security updates. Try search the "images" section of www.Google.com for the search term "hacked websites" to see many more such examples.
