The advantages of hiring a professional web maintenance service are:

Advantage #1. Save time and money

Maintaining a website implies entering the mud, going down to the trench, without experience it can become an ordeal. If to upload a photo you have to spend 30 minutes trimming and passing filters with Photoshop, lose weight and rename the file you are spending a very valuable and intangible money: your time.

Installing an SSL certificate, updating your WordPress, setting up an email account, are just a few examples of maintenance tasks that you can do but it will take you much longer than a professional who does it daily. Also, what happens if something goes wrong? Do you have a plan B? Do you know how to reverse the action taken? If you feel bad, you may lose information irreversibly.

Advantage #2. Dedicate yourself to your business

Your goal is your company, your business, your physical store if you have it, your services and your customers. All this is what you should spend time because if you do not do it your company will not advance. Leave the web and technical problems to a web expert.

Advantage #3. Get help from professionals, in a personalised way

There is nothing like calling a phone to ask for help or make an inquiry, always to the same people, without going through a call centre, without opening a support ticket, systems widely used today but cold and impersonal that are like a lottery , depending on who touches you, it will serve you better or worse.

We offer a telephone, almost always the same person will attend you, who already knows you and your project, you don’t have to explain everything again.

Advantage #4. The peace of mind that your website is monitored at all times

If you deal with professionals and hire a company dedicated to web maintenance and support, they will have a correct working method, your page will be monitored 24 hours a day, under constant surveillance and they will intervene at the time something fails without you having to pick up the phone.

Advantage #5. Be up to date on the internet

The good thing about dealing with internet and web page specialists is that we are up to date with web technologies, new trends, security, hosting, etc. If there is something you should know we will tell you, without having to look for it or inform you on your own.

Advantage #6. Get help for the web and for email.

A maintenance service should not only focus on the website, but also on email. In fact, this service usually has more complexity and impact than a web page. Many of our customers need support for configuring Outlook, Thunderbird accounts, on Android phones and tablets, iOS.

On the other hand, the email service has problems to deal with. For example, if you do a massive mailing, block your domain or your IP, if your contacts do not receive your emails or are bounced, if there are attacks of ramsonware, pishing, spam, etc. It is a wild and dangerous jungle; you must be well accompanied.

How much does the maintenance of a website cost?

To establish a criterion on how much it could cost and what rates are shuffled in a web maintenance service, the following factors must be analysed:

• The complexity of your web page. We maintain WordPress, Prestashop and Joomla web pages mainly, but we also keep custom-made PHP / MySQL pages and static HTML pages. It is not the same to maintain one thing as another and can influence the price.
• If you have to make updates on the page. Sometimes you have to update texts, photos, or some kind of content but sometimes you don’t have to do it. This should affect the cost of web maintenance as is logical.
• Professional Experience. A web developer with 1 year of experience is not the same as with 20 years. Nor is an expert the same as in addition to knowing how to program in PHP, he is a web designer, SEO consultant and systems expert. These types of profiles are the most complete and professional because they are going to give you solutions from all their areas of knowledge.
• If hosting is included. The web page maintenance service may or may not include hosting or hosting. We do include it in our plans because it is essential for the security of the page. A hosting can cost between € 6 and € 20 per month depending on the capabilities.

Once this is clear, we must think about how we want to pay for the service, or how the specialist in question charges it. The most logical thing is to agree on a monthly or annual fee, in any case a recurring payment. By paying a fee we can have the periodic concepts included: maintenance, hosting, etc. and other extra concepts, such as domain renewal or acquisition of hours or opaque for use.

Some clients do not want to pay a monthly fee, they want to do hourly jobs, pay only the time taken to perform the web jobs. It is another correct way of working; we work this way by means of hourly bonuses.
