Web Site Maintenance
Website maintenance is part of website ownership. Websites are like any investment; they require care. Like home ownership maintenance, website maintenance come with three choices, do it yourself, pay someone to do it, or a combination of the two.
The big tasks like changing web layout and web design should be left to professionals. Hire a website developer. Updating content yourself should be an easy job. All websites should come with an administrative component where you can update photos and text without incurring additional costs.
If you do not have time or patience, pay someone to do this for you, but don’t neglect it. Your website will suffer because you don’t offer anything new – less traffic, less search engines, less repeat visitors and less business. Broken websites are the worst and reflect poorly on your business standard. Would you buy from someone who can’t keep their website working?
- Do you want to be able to update the website?
- Do you own a digital camera?
- Do you have the ability to take, re-size and optimize images?
- Do you have the time and desire to learn new computer skills?
