Statistics reveal that more than 87% of users search online before buying a product. Given these statistics, users are more likely to visit your website first before choosing to buy your product. Therefore, designing and hosting a website is important.
However, the job doesn’t end there. Website maintenance services are as important as hosting a website on the internet.
What are website maintenance services?
As you use your car, it is subject to natural wear and tear. This natural wear and tear requires maintenance. Without proper maintenance, you are more likely to experience car breakdowns. That is why, you regularly give your car for servicing once in several months. Similarly, a website support service is crucial to keep your website running smoothly. Also, website maintenance services are required to ensure your website stays relevant with your customers
Types of website maintenance
Again, taking the example of your car, servicing is not only required for the maintenance of your engine, but you are required to service other parts of your vehicle like breaks, oil changes, and wheel balancing to ensure your car runs smoothly. Likewise, website support services include several types of website maintenance. Let’s look at the different parts or types of website maintenance
Security scans and patches
Websites are present on the internet and the internet as we know it is constantly under the threat of hacks. Website development companies usually offer security scans or patches to “patch up” the vulnerability holes in your website to prevent your website from hacks, threats, and also online viruses.
Webtree Media Solutions, a leading web development company in Bahrain offers regular security scans and patches to protect your website from external threats, viruses and also hacks.
Content update
Another website support service is content updates. The content on a website is what your prospective customers will engage with. Content is what informs your customers about your products and services. Therefore, updating your content regularly ensures you stay relevant to your customers.
Webtree Media Solutions offers customized web maintenance packages that include content updates. We also provide software solutions like vehicle inspection software.
Optimization
Next time you type a company name on your computer, notice where the company website appears on the search engine page. If the company you search for appears on the first page of the Google Search engine then the website is well optimized.
Research shows that over 75% of users do not go beyond the first page of the Google Search engine page. This is the power of the first page. Optimizing your website to appear on the first page of the Google Search engine is part of website support services. Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing process.
Plugins
Check your website maintenance contract to ensure your contract includes plug-ins and themes. Plug-ins and themes improve the functionality of your website. Updating your plug-ins and themes from time to time ensures the proper functioning of your website.
Summing up, website maintenance services are an integral part of website development and hosting. Apart from the above website support services, good website maintenance companies in Bahrain like Webtree Media Solutions offer WordPress and Magneto maintenance services.
