Our British Columbia Web Maintenance Plans

We view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your British Columbia business with the appropriate web designer resources to solve nearly any website problem. There are many examples of website concerns that might require service from British Columbia web maintenance agencies, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps and plugins updated for better security and functionality.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging your British Columbia site's navigation menu.
• Making your page faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Backing up your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing site audit errors or Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Improving technical SEO by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing a solution to any other website problem.

Those services are just a taste of what British Columbia web maintenance might look like. In fact, British Columbia web maintenance is really anything a website designer or internet marketing specialist does to your website to change it in some manner.

Our website maintenance and support agency is happy to provide Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Victoria, and Chilliwack with fast website support services.

Pricing for British Columbia Web Maintenance

Our web maintenance plans start at $119.50/hour; however, we offer reduced rates as low as $99.95/hour for pre-purchased blocks of time.

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

Kindly note that we seldom encounter tasks that take less than 10 minutes to complete, as reviewing an email or receiving a phone call, working on the task, providing feedback, and logging the task usually requires at least 10 minutes.

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

The Platforms We Maintain for British Columbia Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for British Columbia small businesses, who have been immersed in multiple site platforms over the years. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our website support company for British Columbia websites tends to service only the following platforms:

• British Columbia WordPress Website Maintenance
• British Columbia WooCommerce Web Support
• British Columbia Shopify Website Support

As a web maintenance agency, we used to maintain and support Joomla and Magento websites for British Columbia-area small businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web support specialists could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Web Maintenance Service List for British Columbia Companies

We are often asked for detailed examples of British Columbia web support requests that might come up after the launch of a website. Here are several examples of British Columbia web maintenance services we've been asked to perform in the past and would be more than happy to provide to you!

Basic British Columbia Website Changes

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

British Columbia Website Speed Improvements

Let us check your British Columbia website for hosting, caching, image optimization, console errors, broken links, poor database queries, and other potential problems that might be impacting your site speed. User experience and search engine optimization will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Updates / Security Fixes

If your British Columbia website is running on a content management system, like WordPress, it is important to keep the platform updated. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!

Plugin / Extension Upgrades

It's important to update plugins and extensions on your British Columbia website if they were developed and maintained by a third-party. The idea is similar to updating the CMS platform since it fixes security and functionality problems.

Google Search Console Fixes

Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we can review the coverage concerns, fix the glitches, and update you on the results. This will help your search engine placements, throughout British Columbia and beyond, by making Google happy!

Setup Structured Data

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is brought to you by structured data, which is a standardized way of describing the content on the web page, whether it be of a localized business in British Columbia, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on Your Website

By adding Open Graph Tags to your website, digital platforms can better understand the content of your page, which improves its appearance on social media.

Add Google Tag Manager

Would you like to manage custom scripts more easily with Google Tag Manager? Not a problem! We can add Google Tag Manager to your British Columbia website and even give you a crash course in using Google Tag Manager.

Implement Conversion Tracking

It's important to setup conversion tracking for your British Columbia website if you want to understand the benefits of digital marketing. It'll help you understand where your conversions come from, like direct traffic, referral links, organic search, or PPC advertising.

Optimize Images

Do you have a British Columbia site that's slow because of large images? No problem at all! We can run all your images through our image compression tools and even setup recurring image compression for newly added images in the future!

Setup Live Chat

Is your website ready for live chat? 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 British Columbia business!

Resolve Errors in Log Files

Are your error_log files big? To stop recurring error messages, we can diagnose the problem and update programming code.

Setup reCaptcha on Forms

If spambots are attacking your British Columbia 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 British Columbia website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best website performance? We can recommend caching plugins, or we can install and configure them for you!

Send Website Emails Over SMTP

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.

IP Address Restrictions

Is your British Columbia 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

Would you like a backup of your British Columbia website? We can help you create one-time or scheduled backups that store locally or at an offsite location.

Create a Staging Website

When you're doing a major update or extension installation, you should set up a development or staging website first. Whenever you need help with creating and managing your development site, just let us know!

Setup A/B Testing

Do you prefer to make design tweaks based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your British Columbia 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

Do you have a new site or are you removing pages? You will want to create 301 redirects for your British Columbia website to prevent broken pages from hurting your SEO. We've seen businesses in and around British Columbia lose huge amounts of organic traffic due to widespread broken pages. We can help you set up 301 redirects in .htaccess files, nginx templates, and CMS platforms.

Provide Website Training

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

Questions to Ask British Columbia Web Maintenance Companies

Before signing up for any British Columbia web support package, it is important to ask the British Columbia website support company some questions about how their services work. This will help you get a better idea of the relationship you will have with the British Columbia website maintenance team before you give them money, provide them website access, and give them complete access to your website for one of their web maintenance packages. Let's go over some simple questions to ask:

• Can you tell me how you handle website security? Do you run site security scans for companies?
• What is the delivery time for British Columbia website maintenance requests?
• Is your British Columbia web support outsourced?
• How much might it cost to maintain an average British Columbia website?
• Are there any minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for British Columbia website updates?
• Can you tell me what your normal business hours are?
• Will you keep me informed about new updates within my platform?

We find it beneficial to run these questions by any British Columbia website services company before subscribing to their web support packages, since it will provide much better understanding for you regarding the future relationship, the security of your website, and the expected turnaround time for important maintenance requests.
