Web maintenance plan details

Website Updates By Request of Client - Up to 6 hours of service per month* can include content updates, creation of graphical elements, photo optimization, new pages, trouble shooting and staff support. The addition of new software features may also be considered as part of the plan. Updates will be posted within three business days unless otherwise indicated. Some restrictions may apply, depending upon the quantity of work to be performed. All notifications of an update must be made in writing, preferably via email. The client will receive an email notification when the request has been received and one when the request has been fulfilled.

Links Checked – Broken and outdated links will be fixed or removed. Error logs will also be monitored where applicable. Error log monitoring may be contingent upon the availability of the error logs by the web host.

Search Engine Placement – Target keywords can be identified. Site rankings in major search engines can be researched and reported to the client in a printable format.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Strategies to increase rankings will be identified, suggested and sometimes implemented. SEO is a strategic plan to maximize search engine placement over time. High rankings can be contingent upon good design, the site's credibility on the subject, the organization of its content, keyword rich content, and the number of external sites with high ranking on related topics that link to the website.

Automated Visitor Tracking – The number of visitors to the website can be evaluated to monitor the amount of traffic to the website and how the website was found (external link, search engine, etc.). A monthly report can be submitted to the website owner. Note: this service is not guaranteed. Sites may be considered for the inclusion of an external tracking device, such as Google Analytics, if one is not already configured for the site.

Usability Monitoring – The site may be reviewed and enhanced for general usability issues such as cross-browser compatibility, accessibility (section 508 compliance), relevancy of content, credibility and the placement of information to reach targeted goals. Major changes will not occur without the owner’s permission.
