Who Needs Web Maintenance in Peoria, AZ

There will come a time when every Peoria website needs some sort of maintenance. It's just that the internet changes all the time. Not to worry though, our Peoria website maintenance cost isn't expensive so it should be affordable for you to maintain your website! Here are some common reasons why a website in Peoria might require web support services:

• When a hosting company upgrades their servers, they may remove older versions of PHP that your Peoria website was originally developed to support. This means you have to refactor your app or upgrade to a newer framework that supports the new PHP version. There's no way you can expect custom web functionality to work forever.
• Content management systems or ecommerce platforms eventually deprecate old versions so their teams can focus on the new ones. Magento 1.x store owners recently had to migrate to Magento 2.x, or an alternative ecommerce platform, because Magento 1.x was no longer maintained by Magento after it reached "End of Life". Peoria-area ecommerce businesses running Magento 1.x found themselves looking for an ecommerce developer to help migrate their store.
• Whenever a website owner falls victim to malware or some other form of malicious activity, the website needs to be cleaned of malware and reviewed for security exploits. This is time-consuming, and often happens when the website owner isn't paying attention to the first two website support examples.
• When the content on your Peoria website, which explains your organization, products, or services becomes outdated and needs to be refreshed to help ensure future visitors receive accurate information about your operation. This type of web maintenance is critical to ensuring your Peoria website is benefiting you.

As you can see, there are many reasons a website may require maintenance above and beyond the obvious reasons of just wanting to update something on the website. When planning budgets and schedules for web maintenance and support, consider your Peoria business's potential future needs.

How We Perform Peoria, AZ Website Maintenance

It's our job to understand your web support needs, schedule your work in a timely fashion, and follow up with your Peoria business after the work is done.

Most Peoria website support services start with an email from the website owner. That email is routed into our ticket system and automatically assigned to the project manager on your account. From there, anyone on our team can work on the ticket without delay, leading to faster turnaround time and simplified internal communication.

For requests that originate from phone or live chat, a similar process to handling your Peoria web maintenance services unfolds. We route the support request to the most appropriate web developer on our team based on the nature of the work needed on your website.
