Website maintenance is the process of keeping a website up-to-date and performing optimally. It includes such tasks as creating new content, marketing material & processes. It also includes housekeeping tasks such as updating the sites’ workings, checking for broken links, backing up the site remotely, ensuring its performance and uptime are monitored, and responding quickly once there is an issue.

Why is website maintenance essential?

It’s an old adage, but never the less, it is still very true, ‘First Impressions are important’. Your website is the first thing a potential customer will see in respect of your business; They are looking for quality-driven, relevant information and expertise. This is when website maintenance becomes crucial. Regular content additions and revisions will assist your website in maintaining & engage your prospective customers while also assisting in maintaining a higher search ranking.

Put simply; website maintenance is the process of regularly managing & monitoring your website for faults, ensuring that everything is updated, fully operational and secure. This must be routinely performed to keep the website up-to-date, fully functioning, safe & reliable.

That’s the functional side of things, and then there is the marketing and operational side. It is important just as you do with your business to keep things fresh and topical; content needs to be created, revised or revisited, and customers need to see you are both responsive and active in your field and provide quality-based, relative content and information. This has a significant bearing on your SEO and Google rankings, whilst it has also been shown to encourage traffic growth.
