The Platforms We Maintain for Burnaby, BC Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Burnaby businesses, who have been immersed in multiple website 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 maintenance agency for Burnaby websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

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

Plugin / Extension Updates

If your Burnaby website has functionality developed and maintained by a third-party, it is important to update those plugins and extensions to include the latest changes by the developers. This is similar to the idea of updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality problems.

Fixing Search Console Issues

Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we'll look at the coverage concerns, fix them, and update you on the status. By making Google happy, you'll boost your search engine rankings throughout Burnaby and beyond!

Implement 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 local business in Burnaby, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on 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 platforms when people share links of your Burnaby organization.
