Website Maintenance

In the era of extreme competition, almost every business has a website. It is assumed that the business organizations do understand the importance of a website. However, still few matter of importance remains to be understood. One of them is the maintenance of an already launched website. It is of utmost importance that a website is properly optimized for search engines and a periodical revamp is done. The launch of a website does not end of the process but begins a regular process of sales and marketing. A non maintained website becomes practically obsolete.

 

The website maintenance includes:-

Adding/Deleting/Updating site products and / or services

Adding regular specials, coupons, etc. to attract new visitors to the site

Removing and / or replacing old news items and press releases

Removing and / or replacing event dates

Removing and / or correcting broken links to internal and external sites

Replacing and / or updating images

Updating staff profiles and / or hiring information

 

 

Another important aspect is to keep the website compatible with the latest technology. Any change that is required to incorporate due to the change in the technology used in the website has to be taken care with no delay. An unattended problem in this regard may give the website few broken links and dissatisfied visitor / customer. The maintenance of the website could be done either by the website owner or the website owner can hire a web designer / developer for the purpose. Both the modes have their advantages and disadvantages. Or one’s advantage is the other’s disadvantage and vice versa

 

If a website owner who is a non technical and does not know much of HTML or CSS, wants to maintain the website, the website owner should take care of the fact that the website had been designed keeping in view of a self maintenance. A content management software containing the below features and few more depending upon the type of the website needs to be installed.

 

Some of the features of ‘content management software’ to work with an updatable website are:

• Online Editor
• Common layouts and templates
• Meta tags control
• Keyword control
• Features to update site maps for any change
• Automated and easy Image up loader
• Category and sub categorising feature
• Source code editor
• Manual updation enabled.

 

With an updatable website, the site owner can update, edit, delete, and do a host of other website maintenance activities without being a technical person and without having knowledge of HTML, CSS etc.

 

On the other hand a site owner can hire a web designer / developer to do the needful. The service charges and the pace they work with might be of a little concern. But a professional touch in the job can not be ruled out. The accuracy might also be a cause of concern unless a real professional is engaged in the assignment.

 

To sum up; a business have or need a website to attract new customer or to retain old ones. Hence it has to be made sure the information uploaded in the website are up to date and meaningful for the visitors. The fact is that websites are online brochures. They have to be substantive and up to date.
