Maintenance Options

• Do-it-yourself maintenance
• Contract maintenance
• Automated maintenance

If you don’t have the staff, time or resources to do the job effectively, one of the options available is to hire a contractor to do maintenance and updating for you. This type of company will analyze your web site maintenance process and develop a general maintenance plan. They can also test all new pages, transfer them to your servers and test them again. In addition to this, they will register new pages with search engines (as necessary) and monitor your site to ensure the material remains accessible including all internal and external links. [See fig. 3 below for an example of a contractor web site]

A company like this will also schedule regular meetings to coordinate with content managers to ask questions concerning your site performance and any concerns such as adjustments to make or are you achieving your goals.
