Website Maintenance and Management for Small Business
Once your site's live, I keep it online, secure and making sure leads actually reach you.
I watch for problems, back up your site, check your forms and handle small updates.
Websites Slip Without Anyone Noticing
Many professional service websites were built years ago and gradually expanded over time. Hosting changed. Features were added. Some updates were delayed. Others were skipped.
Nothing breaks outright. Until it does.
- Updates get applied here and there, not on any real schedule
- Security gets set up once and never looked at again
- No way to know if your contact form is actually sending you leads
- The site gets slower over time
- Nobody's watching for problems until a client mentions it
This happens to most websites over time. It's also avoidable with the right setup.
If most of your new business comes through your website, it deserves the same attention as everything else you do.
