Best Strength

Keeping your company or organization’s website up to date has all of a sudden been moved up to top priority. People can get on the Web practically anywhere now. They are doing searches and some are looking for products and services that you offer.

Things like news items, the blog and the staff directory can change often and it will take some time to keep these things up to date. When these things are updated, here is a short checklist to follow:

Make sure you have a backup of whatever page you are updating.

After doing the content changes, run spell check.

Make sure images are re-sized correctly.

Check the updated content using multiple web browsers and on different operating systems like Windows and Mac OSX.

Have someone else check over what was updated so that there are no errors.

Keep a log of what was changed and by who.

If changes to the website are not double checked, then you could lose traffic. Search engines will visit your site, pick up the page with the error and then possible lower the rank of that page where people will no longer find it. So checking any updates done is very important.

Definitely one option to consider when looking at doing website updates is hiring a web design firm. These web design firm are experts at doing web site maintenance on websites and will have an excellent chance of doing the work correctly. They also work fast and get your content updated as soon as they can. You are left with time used to run your business.

When choosing a website design firm, make sure you are clean on how they quote work, how they bill and what their typical completion time is. Some firms will offer you discounts if you pre-pay some of their time – saving you even more money.

Having an up to date website is important. Follow the notes laid out here if you plan to do the website maintenance yourself. If your decision is to hire a web firm, then make sure that you understand their system before you get any updates done. Check their references and see if they offer a trial of their services.
