The Platforms We Maintain for Ashland, KY Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Ashland small businesses (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. Having said that, it's better to master a few platforms than try to specialize in them all. Because of that, we tend to service only these platforms for Ashland websites:

  • Ashland WordPress Website Maintenance
  • Ashland WooCommerce Web Support
  • Ashland Shopify Website Support
  • We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Ashland organizations in the past. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance professionals could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Web Support Service List for Ashland, KY Businesses

After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Ashland web maintenance requests. The following are some examples of Ashland website maintenance services we've provided in the past.

Basic Ashland Website Changes

A simple change to your Ashland website might include updating a paragraph on a page, swapping out an image, or adding a new page. Keeping content fresh for search engines and visitors is just normal, routine website maintenance.

Ashland Site Speed Improvements

We can analyze your Ashland website for hosting errors, caching issues, 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 Updates

If your Ashland website is running on a content management system, like WordPress, it is important to keep the platform updated. Updates help improve security and functionality - and they're usually quick, so it might be a simple task.

Extension / Plugin Updates

It's important to upgrade plugins and extensions on your Ashland 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 issues.

Google Search Console Fixes

Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we'll look at the coverage problems, fix them, and update you on the status. By making Google happy, you'll boost your search engine rankings throughout Ashland 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 nearby business in Ashland, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Add Open Graph to 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.

Implement Google Tag Manager

Interested in using Google Tag Manager for managing custom scripts? Not a problem! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Ashland website and even teach you how to use it.

Setup Conversion Tracking

It's important to setup conversion tracking for your Ashland website if you want to understand the benefits of internet marketing. It'll help you understand where your conversions come from, like direct traffic, referral links, organic search, or paid ads.

Image Compression (Optimization)

Are large images slowing down your Ashland website? That won't be a problem! All your images can be compressed by our tools, and we can even setup recurring compression for newly added images!

Add 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 Ashland business!

Resolve Errors in Log Files

Are your error_log files big? If you're getting recurring error messages, we can update programming code or fix platform issues.

Reduce Spam with reCaptcha

To reduce unwanted submissions on your Ashland website, we can setup an invisible or checkbox reCaptcha.

Setup a Caching Plugin

Looking to install a caching plugin on your Ashland website, but not sure how to configure it? We can help you figure out which caching plugins to install and configure on your website!

Implement SMTP Email

If you want to improve email deliverability, we can set up your contact form and website platform to send emails via SMTP instead of PHP mail.

Restrict IP Addresses

Is your Ashland website getting fake orders, contact submissions, or live chats? Our team can help set up IP restrictions so your website doesn't get hit with as much malicious traffic.

Backup Your Website Files

Would you like a backup of your Ashland website? Let us help you create one-time or scheduled backups that you can store locally or offsite.

Create a Development Website

When you're doing a major update or extension installation, you should set up a development or staging website first. 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 Ashland 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 Ashland website. We've seen businesses in and around Ashland 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 Ashland website? If your Ashland website was developed in a platform we work within, such as Shopify or WordPress, we'll be happy to help!

What can I say about this company? These people that work there? Unbelievable!! It doesn't matter when or why you call, they will help you. The other part of that statement is: I never have to call them! They made a web site for us that works 24/7. But if I do call they actually take care of it right then. ... great bunch of guys...Southwest Radio Church really appreciates you!!
George Ormond

George Ormond

Corey was extremely helpful and spent a considerable amount of time going over my difficulties with a newly created website put together by someone else. I was under a very stressful deadline and he was extremely considerate and helpful. He managed to fix the problems that I was experiencing with my website. I had reached out to a number of website developers for help but only heard back from Webcity and Corey got back to me within minutes!
Alo Health

WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!
