Why Web Maintenance

fresh is good.

Let's be honest with each other. The content on your website is getting older everyday. That's a fact. You don't know how to update it or you're just too busy. Either way your website isn't receiving the attention, nurturing and maintenance it needs. And so, there it sits, doing nothing, languishing...all alone.

We can help. We maintain websites for busy business owners. Let us provide your website with things such as fresh content, targeted keywords, monthly maintenance and the extra special attention it so desperately needs. The reality is, if you want your website to work, it must be fresh, it must be cared for.

Our website maintenance plan is made up of 10 steps. Each step is performed as needed and is described in detail below.

Website Hosting
You can go ahead and cancel your hosting account. You no longer need to maintain and pay for a separate hosting service each month. We provide you with all of the technical features you would ever need. For starters, we provide you with unlimited file storage, unlimited email addresses, unlimited bandwidth, 99.9% up-time guarantee and 24/7 unlimited technical support.

Beyond that, your website will be maintained, monitored and supported in our secure facilities that are staffed 24/7 by real people who will ensure that your site offers good performance and is up and running around the clock.

Unlimited Content Updates
A dull, boring, outdated website is no place visitors want to be. If you're lucky enough to get them to stop by and visit once, without fresh content, they surely won't be back again. We keep your website updated with fresh content as often as you supply it to us.
There is no limit on how often you can supply us with new content and we don't charge by the hour. In fact, the more the better. Simply email your content to us and we'll post it in the appropriate section of your website in less than 48 hours (usually within 24 hours). On the internet, freshness wins (and sells!).

Monthly Website Maintenance
Our monthly website maintenance duties start with optimizing and compressing all of your graphics to ensure your images load as quickly as possible. We then check the speed of each page on your website (how long does it take to load?) and make any improvements possible that will help make it load even a half second faster.

Although these services each take their full share of time, detective work and skill, we aren't done yet. Next, we search for any dead links coming into or going out of your website. If we do happen to find any of these stinkers, we immediately patch the "holes". The last website maintenance item on our list is to find and log your backlinks. Backlinks are the number of websites on the internet that link to your site and are one of the most coveted currencies on the internet.

Metatag Creation
Meta what? Metatags are hidden bits of code built into your website that "speak" to search engines and directories to communicate all different types of information.

We create META information including Title, Description, Keywords, and Robots.txt for each page in your website. This invisible information helps your search engine positioning and the content will become a valuable part of your website.

Usability Scan
We analyze your website to find potential design and navigation issues. One of the top things that causes websites to fail is customers not knowing how to work your website. What a shame. If a potential customer on your site can't find what they're looking for, it doesn't exist.

Website Statistics
How many people visited your site last month? Don't feel bad, 90% of all business owners don't know either. We'll provide you with statistics that will help you discover which terms visitors used to find you on Google, MSN, and Yahoo as well as all of your website's activity from the past day, week, month and year.

We'll tell you things like how many visitors you had, where they come from, how long do they stay on your site, what page is your most popular, what page is causing people to leave your site, what day of the week brings you the most. The stats are presented in an easy to read "graphical" format which makes it easy for you to see the trends over time.

Monthly Backup
We all know that despite the best-laid plans, accidents and mishaps can still happen, so it is always a good idea to keep the Boy Scouts' motto in mind...be prepared.

Just like clockwork, every month we create and compile a complete backup copy of your entire website. We then archive it in a safe place just in case (heaven forbid) disaster should strike. At any moment we can instantly revert back to an earlier version of your website should the need ever arise.

Keyword Development
We identify keyword phrases likely to be used by your potential customers. This list will be comprised of keyword phrases suggested by you as well as phrases found while researching your industry and competing sites. The keywords we target for your site will be updated and amended frequently to guarantee you receive the most timely and relevant representation possible.

Keyword Development
Most pages on most websites are poorly designed and constructed. Not only is this a problem for potential customers but it also substantially diminishes your potential to rank well in search engines. Like a baby craves a bottle, search engines seek out and reward properly written HTML. We optimize all page content to include accurate keyword density, text, images and tags. We recommend at least 250 to 300 words of unique content per page for great results.

Unlimited Free Support
To put it quite simply, we're here to help and advise you on any aspect of your website. Whatever it is, just give us a call. We also offer 24/7 toll free technical support should you ever have questions or need help with your hosting service, domain name or email.
