Saying a website doesn’t need to be maintained is like saying a car doesn’t need to be serviced.

Many don’t consider website maintenance to be a priority. In fact, we’ve done our fair share of explaining that once designed, a website does NOT run on autopilot. In order for it to function properly, you’ll need to invest in a website maintenance service.

Truth is, no matter how big or small your website is, it needs to be maintained and updated on a regular basis.

But why is website maintenance so important and how much does website maintenance cost?

Let’s take a closer look at all there is to know about website maintenance, why website maintenance services are important, and website maintenance cost.

What is website maintenance?

Website maintenance essentially refers to the process of ensuring that your website is regularly checked for any issues and that everything is up to date and well maintained.

Why website maintenance services are important?

A website’s kind of a big deal, more so if you’re relying on it to help bring in business.

It’s your little corner on the internet people visit to learn more about your business and the products or services you offer. And more importantly, to make contact with you.

It betters the user experience

User experience is everything.

There’s no use getting people to your website, only to have them leave because they’re finding it difficult to navigate their way around your website.

First impressions last, and if you’re not creating a good enough one, chances are you’re likely to lose out on potential business.

An outdated website, and particularly, one that is not working as it should will discourage, rather than encourage people from taking action on your website.

A maintained website keeps users informed
Your website should always display the latest, and most up-to-date information about your business and its products or services.

Frequent website maintenance checks and updates will help keep people informed about any changes, such as:

  • Changes to your address and contact details
  • New products or services
  • Events, promotions and specials

SEO
If your website is updated on a regular basis, Google will crawl your website more frequently. This will, in turn, contribute to better SEO results.

Improves your site’s security

Attacks and hacks are all too common. And the damage to your business can potentially have a long-term effect. By doing website maintenance on a regular basis, hackers are less likely to attack your website.

Website maintenance cost

The cost to maintain a website largely depends on, a) the needs of the website, and b) the level of expertise of the web design company. You can expect to pay anywhere between R500 – R5000 a month.

Website maintenance prices will differ from company to company; some will charge a once-off fee, others may quote you an hourly rate. And others may have website maintenance packages to choose from.

A website isn’t merely for show, it’s a long-term investment that requires ongoing attention.
