When choosing a company to design your web site it is important to keep in mind that things change, and just like any other part of your business, it will require maintenance and updating, a fact that is sometimes overlooked. You will need a reliable business web site maintenance programme to keep your site up to date and functioning properly.

Perhaps you are no longer in touch with the original designers of your web site, or you have developed a site yourself but simply don't have the time, tools or expertise to develop it further. WebWare Works can help by taking on this work -- from basic site maintenance to complete site management, we will ensure your web site remains up to date.

Most simple changes and updates can be made the same day but of course, the more complex or larger content jobs will take longer.

We will maintain your site with text changes, updates and new pictures as required. The cost will depend on the amount of changes needed per month and the size of the site.

To remain effective a web site needs to be constantly updated and maintained for a number of reasons.

why you need to keep your web site up to date

Fresh information ensures people have a reason to return to your site.
Technology changes fast and a site can begin to look and act old very quickly.
Changes in your business, for example new products or prices.
Components of a web site such as hyperlinks and graphics can malfunction.
The rules by which search engines list sites change constantly. Without updating and taking account of these new rules, a web site can easily become 'lost' in search engine listings.

what should be updated

Any pages where prices or tariffs are displayed.
Information on new, changed, or discontinued products or services.
Offers and competitions which might have passed their end date.
Any Terms and Conditions which have been changed.
Contact details.
Seasonal images or promotions.
