Website Maintenance

home > Website Maintenance

Website maintenance is the process of keeping your site in good working condition. As a rule, it includes error scan thru a website audit (not only broken links check, but also other vital parameters) and troubleshooting. Next check how often the site is down (any hosting server may fail periodically - yet some are more often than others). Finally, secondary / auxiliary routines include editing HTML pages and uploading them to the hosting server via the FTP protocol.

When you actively work with a site, i.e. change design, manipulate content, etc., Murphy's Law says that something terrible will happen. Usually it’s a broken link, missing Titles, slow pages and worst of all, failed transactions. A website audit helps to find pages where your site is deficient in maintenance. Once your website exceeds 10 pages and contains more than 50 links, finding and removing defects becomes a painful and long-drawn task unless a website maintenance solution is deployed.

Website Auditor is a web site quality management tool. It tests your web site to identify over 20 potential problems which can cause both visitors frustration and search engines inability to index your web site.

Another website maintenance tool advantage is the unique Active Report feature. It allows you to see all errors, problems and page relationships in a flexible, dynamic way.

Creation

Web site content is created using web authoring tools such as Dreamweaver, Cold Fusion, or Notepad. Unfortunately, regardless of the applications used to create a site, it requires additional checks for integrity, functionality and usability.

Maintenance

As a web project grows and changes, it accommodates more and more content. New pages are constantly added, and old pages are changed to conform to the latest market trends. At this stage content modifications make it a vital issue to assure site quality and integrity. Detect and eliminate performance and accessibility problems or concerns before customers do.

Redesign

Redesign in terms of a site is like a nervous breakdown with similar consequences: shattered site structure, broken cross-links, invalid document Titles, missing image attributes. This happens even if a site is redesigned by professionals as many of these elements are simply not visible. For example, if an image misses "width" and "height" attributes, nothing will change but the speed of page loading as visitors browser is forced to additionally render the image.
