Alberta Website Maintenance Services

Our Alberta Web Maintenance Plans

We see web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Alberta business with the right web designer resources to fix just about any problem. There are many examples of website problems that might require service from Alberta website support firms, including:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps and plugins updated for better security and functionality.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Freshen up your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Alberta website's navigation menu.
• Making your page faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage concerns.
• Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website issues.

These are just a few of the Alberta web support plans we offer. In fact, Alberta web maintenance is basically anything a web designer or digital advertiser does to your site.

Our website maintenance and support company is happy to provide Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Grande Prairie with fast website support services.

Pricing for Alberta Web Maintenance

The cost of our website maintenance packages begins at $119.50/hour, but discounts are available for pre-purchased blocks of time, which can lower the hourly rate to as low as $99.95.

With the purchase of a web maintenance retainer, there are no hidden fees, contracts, minimum deductions, or expirations.

It's important to note that it's uncommon for us to receive tasks that can be completed within less than 10 minutes, as the task review process, responding to emails or phone calls, providing feedback, and logging the task typically take up a minimum of 10 minutes.

Our team will furnish you with a monthly update to inform you of the remaining time balance on your pre-purchased website maintenance retainer, ensuring that you stay aware of your usage.

Our Alberta Website Management Packages

Are you weary of being continuously notified about available upgrades? Are you concerned about potential website downtime? Our web development team can mitigate both of your issues through proactive website management!

Here is a summary of what our website management plans entail:

1.) Proactive Website Updates

With our in-house team of website professionals, we are capable of performing platform updates, theme updates, and plugin/extension updates for WordPress or WooCommerce websites on a monthly or quarterly schedule!

1. Site Backup: Our first step involves generating backups of both your website files and database.
2. Updates: Next in line, we manually install any upgrades that are available for your website.
3. Testing: Once the upgrades have been installed, we conduct a website check for any potential issues.
4. Finalize: If the upgrades are successful, your website's protection against security threats and malware will be improved! If the updates are unsuccessful, we will have a discussion about the subsequent course of action.

2.) Remote File & Database Backups

To help mitigate the risk of data loss, we maintain remote backups of both your website and database.

3.) Website Uptime Monitoring

Within our uptime monitoring system, we oversee your website for any service outages.

An alert will be dispatched to our website developers if your website goes down, enabling us to examine the issue.

You have the choice of opting for website management plans with monthly and quarterly options. This empowers you to decide the frequency at which our team performs remote backups and installs website updates.

The Platforms We Maintain for Alberta Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Alberta businesses (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. Because of that, we tend to service only these platforms for Alberta websites:

• Alberta WordPress Website Maintenance
• Alberta WooCommerce Web Support
• Alberta Shopify Website Support

We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Alberta small businesses in the past. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our website maintenance consultants could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Website Support Service List for Alberta Organizations

After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Alberta web maintenance requests. Here are several examples of Alberta website maintenance packages we've been asked to perform in the past and would be more than happy to provide to you!

Simple Alberta Website Updates

Changes to your Alberta website could be as simple as updating a paragraph, swapping images, or adding a new page. These are just normal, routine website support tasks to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Alberta Page Speed Improvements

We can analyze your Alberta website for hosting concerns, caching glitches, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and more if it's slow. User experience and search engine optimization will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Updates / Security Patches

It's important to keep your Alberta website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. Updates help improve security and functionality - and they're usually quick, so it might be a simple task.

Plugin / Extension Updates

It's important to upgrade your Alberta website's plugins and extensions to reflect the latest changes by the developers. It's similar to updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality concerns.

Fixing Search Console Issues

Did you get a report from Google Search Console telling you about a coverage issue? If so, we'll look at the coverage glitches, fix them, and update you on the status. Make Google happy, and you'll rank higher throughout Alberta and beyond!

Setup Structured Data

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is structured data, which is a standardized way of describing content on the web, whether it's a local company in Alberta or an ecommerce product.

Add Open Graph to Your Website

Adding Open Graph Tags to your website will help search engines better understand your page content and improve the appearance of your website in social media platforms when people share links of your Alberta organization.

Add Google Tag Manager

Interested in using Google Tag Manager for managing custom scripts? Not a problem! We'll happily install Google Tag Manager on your Alberta website and teach you how to use it.

Add Conversion Tracking

Tracking conversions is important if you want to understand the benefits of digital advertising for your Alberta site. This will help you understand where your conversions are coming from, such as a Google search or a Bing Ads campaign.

Image Compression (Optimization)

Is your Alberta website slow because of large images? No problem at all! All your images can be compressed by our tools, and we can even setup recurring compression for newly added images!

Add Live Chat

Do you want to try live chat on your website? We can make recommendations on the best live chat systems for your business requirements, install the tracking code, and configure the design to match the branding of your Alberta business!

Review Error Log Files

Have you noticed large error_log files on your hosting account? We can help diagnose the issue and update programming code or repair platform errors to prevent recurring error messages.

Integrate reCaptcha on Contact Forms

If spambots are attacking your Alberta website, we can setup a checkbox or invisible reCaptcha to help minimize unwanted submissions on your forms.

Setup a Caching Plugin

Are you interested in installing a caching plugin in your Alberta website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best site performance? We can help recommend caching plugins, or just install and configure them for you!

Setup SMTP Email

To help improve email deliverability, we can configure your contact form and website platform to send emails through an SMTP account instead of PHP mail.

Restrict IP Addresses

Is your Alberta website being bombarded with fake orders, contact submissions or live chats from a specific network? We can help setup IP restrictions to prevent malicious traffic from interacting with your website.

Create Website Backups

Do you want to create a backup of your Alberta website? We can help you create one-time or scheduled backups that store locally or at an offsite location.

Create a Development Website

It is often recommended that you setup a development or staging website before proceeding with a major upgrade or extension installation. If you'd like help creating and managing that development / staging site, just let us know!

Implement A/B Testing

Do you prefer to make design changes based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your Alberta web page? If so, we can help you implement A/B testing to gather data to help inform you of the best choice between two or more design layouts.

Create 301 Redirects

Are you launching a new website or removing pages from your website? You should create 301 redirects for your Alberta website. We've seen businesses in and around Alberta lose huge amounts of organic traffic due to widespread broken pages. We can help you create 301 redirects within .htaccess files, nginx templates, and CMS platforms.

Provide Website Training

Do you need help learning how to make edits to your Alberta website? If your Alberta website was developed in a platform we work within, such as Shopify or WordPress, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Alberta Web Maintenance Companies

Ask the Alberta web support agency some questions about their services before you sign up for a package. This will help you get a better idea of the relationship you will have with the Alberta web maintenance team before you give them money, provide them website access, and give them complete access to your website for one of their website support packages. You can ask these easy questions:

• Can you tell me how you handle website security? Do you run website security scans for businesses?
• What is the turnaround time for Alberta web maintenance requests?
• Are you outsourcing your Alberta website maintenance services?
• How much does Alberta website support cost?
• Are there any minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Alberta website updates?
• What are your normal hours of operation?
• When there are new updates on my platform, will you let me know?

If you ask these questions to Alberta website services firms, you'll gain a better understanding of the future relationship, the security of your website, and the turnaround time for important maintenance requests.
