What Is Website Maintenance?
Website maintenance can be one of the most important aspects of maintaining Ecommerce websites as products are constantly changing. If you don’t have a plan for how you are going to deal with regular updates to your site, then you are running the risk of harming any profits that may come in from your website.
A website is a very important part of your online presence and marketing efforts, but only if the website is being maintained. If you fail to take care of your site’s web design, then you will start to see a significant drop in website traffic and potential customers that visit your page.
Website maintenance may not be the most glamorous part of having a website, but it’s a crucial element to any successful marketing monthly plan.
Why Is Website Maintenance Important?
People who maintain their websites regularly will see higher click through rates and visitors on the site overall. By keeping your website current with fresh content and new plugins you can increase potential customers by as much as 50%. It is more than likely that you have spent a good amount of money on your website, so why would you risk losing potential business.
Website maintenance services can help ensure that your site is engaging and keeping visitors on the page. If they stay longer on your web page they are more likely to be interested in what you have to offer or sign up for something. This way you will see an increase in business and your website will be a key part of your success

Website Security | Site Backups | Recovery Design
In recent years the number of websites on the internet has decreased because they are no longer active. A lot of these inactive websites are offline due to being hacked. Hacking is extremely common.
The hackers are not always interested in the content of your website, but also in the use of your server so that they can send out spam emails or illegal files.
This is why securing your website is vital. We offer plugin updates, content delivery network implementation, regular security updates, security scans and more.
Content Updates & Development tweaks
Content is the voice of your site. The modern meaning of content goes beyond text on your web pages. It can include changing, formatting or optimizing images and other assets; making changes – additions, deletions or modifications – to the menus and navigation on the site.
It’s important to keep your site up to date with the latest technological advancements and changes. Forced updates can happen due to a number of factors, such as new mobile devices or technology. Some common reasons for updating content on websites include:
- The need for fresh information about products/services offered by your business
- Software upgrades
- Broken links analysis
- CMS version updates
- Business focus shifts
- Search engine optimisation
- Technical Support
Your website is a reflection of you and your company. If it’s not running smoothly, that may be an indication that there are some technical problems and these may be related to programming or something else entirely. Our website maintenance services provide fast solutions for these kinds of issues and offer priority support so don’t hesitate! to give us a call.
What happens if you don't maintain your website?
The health of a website is very important for many reasons. Google wants to rank websites who have relevant and updated information in their search engine result pages. Google is not required to index web pages especially if they suspect they have malware. If your webpage isn’t professional, customers will often go elsewhere.
The longer your website is not updated with fresh content, it becomes stale and the user experience becomes poor. If your website falls behind on too many updates, you’ll start to see a drop in online traffic and will likely be removed from Google’s search engine results pages. If you don’t go ahead and make website updates and tweaks and the website is not protected against malware and hackers, there are a number of problems that can occur.
These include:
Security Threats
Malware, spam emails and viruses could be sent out from your server if it has been hacked into. This can lead to legal action against your business and a loss of money.
Lost Traffic
If you don’t keep up with updates, things may go out of date on your website and people will be less likely to visit because they won’t trust it. This means that traffic decreases, which reduces the amount of revenue you make from the website.
Website Issues
If your website is not kept up to date, it may encounter issues like sudden errors or unexpected downtime. This means that the user experience of your website is poor and your target customers won’t trust doing business with you because you cannot maintain your own website.
Outdated website
Other visitors may avoid visiting your website if it looks out of date compared to others on the internet. Even if your website is filled with top quality content, it will not perform as well as other websites that are regularly updated.
Website maintenance can help you avoid these issues by keeping your website safe, updating and regularly checking your content and ensuring that it is running at the optimal speed.
