Website Maintenance Plan in The Philippines
In the early days of the Internet, creating a website was simpler—you paid, designed it, and be done. Leads poured in effortlessly. Maintenance was minimal, occasional wording changes of something on website etc. Nowadays, ongoing care is vital. Website Care Services ensure smooth operation; common among design and development firms.
What Needs Maintenance?
Flash forward to the present day, websites need maintenance. Fortunately, small business websites are more cheaper than before (depending whom you hire). You can get a professional website for only $1-2,000 instead of paying $10k+. There will always be design & development firms that have a talented, college educated staff and charge a premium fee. These firms provide a top-notch product and service but don’t satisfy every small business’s budget.
Website design cost is more affordable up-front, but ongoing website maintenance is necessary to keep website running smoothly. We call this, Website Care Service. Most website design & development firms have a quite similar services. Why do you need this service and what does this include?
Here’s 16 Compelling Benefits To Website Maintenance:
- Domain – A domain name is required for any website. Your domain name will be registered, setup, managed, and renewed as required. Most people are unaware of DNS settings, MX records, WHOIS registration, and so on, but we are! This is why we look after your unique domain name and make sure no one else takes it.
- Hosting – Domain names need hosting in order for your website to be available on the Internet. We have top-of-the-line servers that are both fast and secure. When it comes to low-cost servers, you get what you pay for. Hosting can be very cheap, but it is also slow and vulnerable to hacking. Our servers are fast and stable, and they’ve been hardened against hackers.
- Email Hosting – Instead of using a Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL address for your company, use a professional email address that includes your website’s domain name. Contact @ YourBusiness.com is a popular company email address format. We will host your new email address and provide help if you have any problems. We’ll even assist you in getting it set up on all of your computers.
- Uptime Monitoring – Our servers have a 99.99 percent uptime guarantee. This ensures that your website will be available to your customers at all times. It’s normal to have 5 minutes of downtime in the middle of the night. 100% uptime guarantee there is no such thing. Best of all, the website will be monitored for downtime as part of our Website Care Service. If the site is unavailable for more than a few minutes, we investigate and resolve the problem.
- Backups – If your website is compromised (hacked) and wiped entirely, you’ll have to start again. To address this, we make regular backups of your website so that, in the event of a catastrophe, you can be back up and running in minutes rather than months. Furthermore, backup copies are located in seven separate locations, both on-site and in the cloud. Your information is safe!
- Security Updates – WordPress websites (core, theme, and plugins) are frequently updated for security reasons. We apply these patches with caution and hold a backup in case anything goes wrong. We always look on your website for new major and minor changes, which we then implement in the background. During the process, your website remains operational, and you won’t have to think about or spend time updating it yourself! While we work on your website, you can focus on your company.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – SEO issues and improvements in your website is monitored and connected to Google Webmaster Tools. This is a Google-provided service for webmasters. It gives you information about the pages they’ve crawled on your site as well as suggestions for improving your score.
- Local Listings – Potential customers can be unable to reach you if your local listings contain inaccurate contact details. We make sure that your company’s name, address, email, and phone number are correct on local directories like Google My Business, Google Maps, and Facebook.
- SSL – An SSL certificate is required for eCommerce websites. Otherwise, credit card information that is sensitive can be easily compromised. Since the tech world promotes security, SSL certificates also provide a small SEO boost. We ensure that SSL certificates are installed and renewed correctly.
- Geo-Redundancy – The website is hosted on two different server clusters in two geographically distinct data centers at the same time. Your site will automatically continue to operate in the second location if the first location is suddenly disrupted, with no data loss. Locations are in sync and ready to use with real-time data!
- Virus Removal – If your website is hacked (which is always a possibility, even with all the security measures in place), we take the time to uninstall the virus, clean up the website, and restore the data. Notifying search engines and browsers that have blacklisted your website as a result of the virus is also part of this process. You can’t be completely virus-free, but we make it very difficult to hack your website and clean it up quickly if it is hacked.
- Site Updates – If your contact information changes, you add a new service, want to adjust rates, have a new testimonial, want to add new photos, or have something else to add, delete, or update on the website, a website maintenance service may help. We’re available to fulfill your update requests via email, phone, or text message with our Website Care Service.
- Client support – Clients often have complaints or questions about their website. Don’t leave your website to risk – ask away! We’re available by text, email, or phone to assist you.
- Blog – If your site has a Blog, What’s New, or News section, we send you a special login so you can update it yourself. Alternatively, we will still assist you with this. Simply email us your new post, and we’ll make sure it gets released.
- Analytics – Tracking how well it performs is part of having a good website. We set up and maintain Google Analytics to provide you with accurate information about your website’s visitors. This includes details such as how many people have visited your website, if they have left, if they are using mobile devices or desktop computers, where they are in the world, and much more. To get the full benefit of your website, use this information or recruit a knowledgeable marketing specialist.
- Performance Optimization – Even on fast servers, high-definition photography, videos, almost infinite content, and a large number of pages will cause websites to slow down. As a result, we can make additional tweaks and optimizations to dramatically speed up your website. After we work on a site, it can load twice as soon! This improves your search engine rankings as well as your user experience.
