Maintenance Contracts

Once a site is up and running, clients may wish to take advantage of a maintenance contract to ensure their peace of mind. They will know that the site is being monitored and kept up to date and domain names are being renewed.

Nothing is worse than a site which proclaims 'last updated... ' and gives a date in the distant past. In many instances the client may wish to update their site to reflect changes in services, product lines or new contact details. It is important to keep pages such as 'Recent projects' up to date to avoid the site looking 'outdated'. Maybe you wish to include a 'Happy Christmas' message.

Monitoring:

Do you know how many people visit your site and how they found it? Monitoring is included in all maintenance contracts. We will check on search engine listing, how well your site is ranked under a number of searches. By using a web based service to track visitors to your site, we will supply you with relevant statistics about visitors, most popular pages and how they were referred to the site. This will be in the form of a bi-monthly report, (or more frequently should you opt for it).

A typical maintenance contract would include

• Renewal of domain name registration.
