Monthly Maintenance Options
Website Development is a very unique industry, in that there is really never a “finished” point in the process. Websites require a significant amount of attention & upkeep, even if the content of the site never changes (which is almost always not the case – your business grows with time, services are expanded or halted altogether, team members come & go, prices change, etc.), it would still be absolutely necessary to maintain the website regularly, just to keep it safe & functioning properly. For this reason, a large majority of our clients request a service package from us once the website is live. We have therefore put together a few Monthly Maintenance Plans, which not only fulfill a vital need for your business, but also provide several levels of discounts on Technical Support & Maintenance.
We offer several different types of regular maintenance packages, all of which include important features such as (the frequency of such features & allowable number of websites, depend on the plan purchased):
- Adding/Deleting/Updating site products
- Adding regular specials, coupons, etc. to attract new customers
- Removing and replacing old news items and press releases
- Removing and replacing date sensitive information (eg dates of exhibitions or events your company is attending or arranging through the year)
- Removing and correcting broken links to internal and external sites
- WordPress core, Themes & Plugin updates as needed (we perform manual updates ensuring there are no compatibility issues or bugs in the updated software; **the automated WordPress built-in update functions of the core and several themes & plugins, are infamously known for causing conflicts & security issues, a lot of them severe enough to take an entire website completely down)
- Replacing and updating images
- Updating staff profiles or recruitment information
- Full back-ups of all website files & Database export
- Back-Up Storage (all plans allow for at least 1 storage space for your back-ups, the two higher tier plans add off-site & cloud storage as well for added protection)
- Back-Up Restore, should anything happen or go wrong during our maintenance of your network, we will restore your website to the most recent back-up free of charge
- Security Monitoring (our monitoring features can range any where from in-depth daily manual analysis, to automated quick scans/checks; we also guarantee, depending on the plan, our monitoring; meaning that while we are in charge of the security monitoring for your website, should any type of virus, mal-ware or malicious code corrupt your website, we will clean & restore the website immediately, no matter the extent of the damage)
We have several different payment choices, with the option to pay monthly, annually, or every 6 months, with discounted prices for longer payment periods. To inquire about customized plans, please email us at plans@rockwareit.com or contact us here on our website.
Whether you have 50 websites or just the 1, it is absolutely essential to have proper backup procedures, strong & up to date security tools in place and a steady webmaster to maintain these things along with software updates and everyday monitoring. If you have a small network, or even just the 1 website, our prices are quite affordable and all come with a good amount of enterprise level features, as well as an absolute guarantee in stable back-ups and secure websites..
