Contact Webstix today!<\/h2>\n<p>Find out about simple and easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webstix.com\/website-maintenance\/buy-blocks\/\">website design maintenance<\/a> services. We have a team of developers (designers, programmers, etc.) waiting for your website maintenance requests and they can turn the work around quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Finally! You can get these things off of your list!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-style-blue\">\n<li>Does something on your website need to be updated or changed?<\/li>\n<li>Is it some text, an image, an event or something more complex?<\/li>\n<li>Is your current Webmaster just taking too long to do it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is Web Maintenance For?<\/h2>\n<p>Small to medium sized companies who do not have staff to do maintenance tasks on their website are perfect candidates for this service. Working on their website is not a part of daily operations as they need to tend to running their business. Taking the time to learn how to do website design and maintenance properly is not a good investment in time as they need their staff to work on other things. They can instead hand the work off to a team of experts with a wide range of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Larger sized businesses may also benefit from hiring out website maintenance because then the work doesn&#8217;t sit at the bottom of the IT Department&#8217;s to-do list. The work is done professionally (up to standards) and quickly so that the website and business benefit.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also for organizations and non-profits that just need a little help with their website.<\/p>\n<h2>Important Information About Website Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webstix.com\/website-maintenance\/\">web maintenance<\/a> work, you want to make sure a number of things are done. These are things that we always do but you should ask these things of whomever does the work for you to make sure it&#8217;s done right. After all, your website is very important and vital to your business.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-style-blue\">\n<li>Get a quote for the work before the work begins. Make sure the quote explains exactly what will be done. If the person doing the work isn&#8217;t clear about what you want, they should ask you questions to make sure.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure files and databases \/ information is all backed up so that it can be restored and put back the way it was if needed.<\/li>\n<li>If any design work is being done, make sure a mock-up is included so that you can see how it will look. The mock-up acts as a blueprint and saves you money since it&#8217;s easier to move things around in the mock-up stage.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the work is tested in the latest web browsers and mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li>Get a report of what work was done when it&#8217;s completed. The report should confirm how much you are being charged and it should match the quote you were given.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Website Maintenance Turnaround Time<\/h2>\n<p>Once a quote is approved, the work takes 24-48 hours at the most. From time to time, we might run into unexpected issues and, if that&#8217;s the case, we will notify you as early as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Ready to Get Started?<\/h2>\n<p>Find out more about pricing, discounts and where to submit a quote:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maintenanceblocks.com\/webstix\/task.php?opt=newuser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get Started With Website Maintenance &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>-Tony<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes people ask what the definition of &#8220;website maintenance&#8221; really is.
