What to arrange after your website goes live

A site is not finished at launch, that is when it starts. Here is what needs to be arranged structurally so it stays reliable.

The site is live, and then? For many organisations launch is the finish line, and that is exactly where the sagging begins. A site nobody keeps up ages in silence until something breaks. Here is what needs to be arranged structurally.

Keep it healthy

Updates, security and backups are not a luxury but hygiene. Most problems, from hacked sites to sudden outages, come from overdue maintenance. Regular updating and a working backup prevent most trouble before it begins.

Keep improving

An organisation changes, and your site should change with it. New pages, a new service, copy that could be better: that should not be a project of months. With us we pick up such improvements in the same week you ask.

Think along, not just fix

Good maintenance is not waiting until something breaks. It is flagging what could be better: a page that loads slowly, a form that drops off, an opportunity left lying. Maintenance and development flow into each other that way.

Without being tied in

Maintenance should not be a stranglehold. With us it is cancellable monthly, and we often maintain sites we did not build ourselves, after a short check of whether that is sound.
