Website Design & Development

The cost of a website depends on the complexity of the project, we can schedule a quick interview with you to discuss your requirements and quote you an approximate cost for your website development.

The issue with this is the quality of the website matters when Google algorithm is looking up sites to search for you. Websites that have errors or are slow usually never show up in the first two pages of google search hence no one is really going to find you out even if you have a website no matter how pretty your website looks.

Website Maintenance

Will the website need regular site maintenance?

The majority of business owners have a website but ignore website maintenance entirely. If your site isn’t properly maintained, chances are you’re losing valuable clients or customers – and that is going to impact your business’ bottom line. Websites need routine maintenance to ensure that all of the components (links, inquiry or contact forms, images, payment mechanisms, shopping carts…) are working in a safe and efficient manner.

We store passwords as hashed strings using a per-user key, and in some scenarios, we store some sensitive data using two-way encryption algorithms. Should the worst possible scenario happen, and your data is compromised, the culprit would still need to perform complex decryption for the data to be readable.

What does website maintenance constitute ?

Website maintenance is the act of regularly checking your website for issues, pitfalls, and errors so that it’s up to date and relevant. A website maintenance plan is an ongoing basic service to keep the website up and running. This usually includes updates and bug fixes to the website’s core CMS (Content Management System – Ex: WordPress), plugins, themes, and taking care of any security updates necessary. Many maintenance plans also include backups and site monitoring as well. Website Maintenance blankets all the activities needed to guarantee the operational integrity of your website.

What happens if I don’t do website maintenance ?

Website maintenance is the act for making changes to content, keeping up with security, making site backups, and making sure your files, plugins, and themes are all up to date. Some of the bad things that can happen if you do not do regular upkeep and site maintenance are: malware, hacking, errors, hosting sites taking your site offline, broken functionality and ruined display. If you don’t perform regular maintenance on a website your website will begin to run slow, stop converting leads or sales, potentially be home to malware, or even stop working completely. This is the most essential reason to maintain your site because it creates a better user experience and can boost your conversion rates.

Google ranks your website, according to website page speeds and quality of website i.e. website with no errors, broken links etc. If you don’t do regular maintenance your website will not appear in the google searches and no one will be able to find you. These days if you don’t appear in the first two pages of the Google search no one will find you. Not being found == No business.
