What is website maintenance?

A Website maintenance package is so much more than keeping your website up and running. Your site is the shop window to your business. It is likely going to be the first time a potential customer comes into contact with you, and therefore needs to represent your company’s brand messaging effectively, be up to date with all the latest goings on (both in your organisation and your industry), and leave a positive lasting impression.

Website’s require ongoing updates and amendments to ensure loading speed is optimised, they are ranking well in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) and convert those impressions to customers.

Common tasks that you should be considering include thematic updates, plugin updates, WordPress and other CMS updates, ensuring Google’s Core Web Vitals are optimised, fixing broken links, updating URL redirects, etc, etc. Sounds overwhelming right? This is where we come in. Our guys keep your website in great health and put you in a good position to attract new clients and support existing ones.

Why is website maintenance important?

As a hub of information, your website is the centre for all online campaigns and is crucial for conversions. What your customers want is shifting constantly and you have to be ready to constantly adapt to meet these wants. That’s where the importance of ongoing upkeep comes in.

Updates piques interest, making it more likely that you’ll engage with existing customers and attract new ones. Regular alterations are also great from an SEO perspective, and helps boost sites visibility.

Neglecting your website could lead to not only performance issues but also security issues where your website not only becomes slow but also becomes vulnerable to hackers who could tamper with your website or use it to host spammy pages causing you further problems with both your SEO, web host, damage your company’s reputation and even cause your leads & enquiries to drop.

Website maintenance is a number of tasks that are required to keep your website themes, files, coding, plugin and more all up to date.

Over time websites can become slow and suffer from security vulnerabilities, by performing regular website maintenance you can ensure your website always stays in the best possible health.

Website maintenance and support packages include many things related to improving the performance and security of your website.

Website maintenance often includes a basic security audit, a page speed audit, a plugin audit and a third-party script audit should you be running any third-party scripts. This will ensure everything is up to date and identify any potential vulnerabilities to be sorted.

A good website maintenance package will also include detailed reporting as to the work carried out and any suggestions that your web developer provides.

We always aim to respond to tier 1 (critical) issues within 1-2 business hours. This would include things such as your website being hacked, your website being down or your website not displaying correctly.

From there an appropriate ‘quick-fix’ plan of action will be defined with the aim to get your website back online and functioning as quickly as possible.

For tier 2 & tier 3 support requests that are not critical and do not require an immediate fix, your dedicated project manager will aim to be in touch within 1 business day to scope out your requirements.

Website maintenance is important because it not only helps offer a better user experience it also prevents any future downtime and can help prevent your website being hacked.

Should your plugins become outdated and not kept up to date then your website could become hacked or even hijacked resulting in damage to your brand as well as lost business opportunities.

Also, heavily customising themes and not updating them can cause update issues in the future when WordPress or the theme gets updated, leaving things not updated for years and then trying to update them can cause serious issues along the way so it is always best to have the latest plugin to ensure maximum compatibility.

The website maintenance process is usually quite straightforward and often results in no down time for your website.

The process first is often to take a backup of your website or push to your staging/development server should you have one.

From there, the plugin upgrades are often done 1 by 1 and the site checked thoroughly to ensure no single plugin has caused an issue.

Once everything is upgraded and tested your website is then pushed live which usually takes a minute or two depending on the size and is then running live without issues.
