Website Maintenance
To prevent a conflict of interest new Website Maintenance and Development clients are not being accepted at this time. Existing clients should have received notification by now, of changes to the services we can offer them. If you haven't recievd this information please contact me directly.
Unfortunately website maintenance is sadly neglected, typically businesses make a big initial invest and are often told that their new website will bring them vast sums of money. Naturally enough, when the new or measurable revenue from their website fails to materialise interest is quickly lost in keeping the website updated. Especially when each update requires you to spend hours of your time and hundreds of dollars using a "web specialist" to "perform the update" for you.
Our philosophy is very different - first of all we believe that if you need to change the content of a page it should cost no more than A$20.00 to have the content on a web page updated. Not only that if every thing is in order it should only cost about A$5.00 per page - think about that - how much did your website cost? How can we do this? Well the simple reality of 90% of the websites is that they are simple text documents; therefore if you have the new text and access details for the website its should only take us 5-10 minutes to copy the text, access the website, insert the new text and place it back on the website.
Another aspect of website maintenance is the
production of content - ie. news - something
to make your clients come back and check the
website, something to make the search engines
come back and re-index your website. Often
it is never mentioned, but, to maintain a ranking
or position on a web search engine you need
to keep your site fresh.
Sites that aren't "fresh" get reduced in importance and the number of times they are reindexed is decreased - until you're relegated dinosaur status. As your site becomes less relevant to the web surfing customer it gets referenced less and eventually you end up with a valueless Googledex. That is to say your ranking in the search engines slips to a worthless point.
Our philosophy is to allow you to add new content to your website using simple to use tools, in fact, tools simpler than Microsoft Word. If you're under resourced or feel this isn't an area you want to do in-house, we can create the product, industry or company specific news for you. Again, we believe that creating articles for a website should cost no more than A$20.00.
