Missouri Website Maintenance Services

Our Missouri Web Maintenance Services

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

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Updating apps and plugins to make them safer and more functional.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Missouri site.
• Improving page performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Take backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing Google Search Console coverage errors.
• Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Investigating the cause and providing a solution to any other website issue.

The previously mentioned services are just a glimpse of what we view as possible Missouri web support plans. In fact, Missouri web maintenance is really anything a web designer or digital advertising consultant does to your website to change it in some manner.

Our web maintenance and support firm is happy to provide Columbia, Kansas City, Oakville, Springfield, St. Louis, and Wildwood with fast website support services.

Pricing for Missouri Website Maintenance

The cost of our web maintenance services 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 website maintenance retainer, there are no hidden fees, contracts, minimum deductions, or expirations.

Please bear in mind that it's unusual for us to receive tasks that require less than 10 minutes to finish, as the task review process, response to emails or phone calls, feedback, and logging typically take up at least 10 minutes.

You'll receive a monthly update from us to inform you of your pre-purchased web support retainer's remaining time balance, keeping you in the loop about your usage.

The Platforms We Maintain for Missouri Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Missouri organizations (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. Therefore, we tend to only maintain Missouri websites on these platforms:

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

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Missouri small businesses. However, we chose to move away from those platforms to allow our website maintenance consultants to focus more heavily on training and support within the other systems.

Example Website Support Service List for Missouri Organizations

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

Simple Missouri Website Updates

Your Missouri website might need a paragraph updated, an image changed, or a new page added. These are just normal, routine web support duties to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Missouri Site Speed Improvements

If your Missouri website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting concerns, caching glitches, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. This will help improve page load times, which are beneficial to user experience and SEO.

Platform Upgrades / Security Updates

If your Missouri website is running on a content management system, like WordPress, it is important to keep the platform updated. The upgrades improve security and functionality - sometimes they're quick, so it's an easy win!

Plugin / Extension Updates

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

Google Search Console Fixes

Did you get a report from Google Search Console telling you about a coverage issue? If so, we'll look at the coverage concerns, fix them, and update you on the status. This will help your search engine placements, throughout Missouri and beyond, by making Google happy!

Add Structured Data

Do you ever see product prices or reviews in Google organic 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 small business in Missouri, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Add Open Graph Tags on Your Website

Adding Open Graph Tags to your site 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 Missouri small business.

Setup Google Tag Manager

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

Add Conversion Tracking

If you are interested in understanding the benefit of the website marketing plan for your Missouri website, it is important to setup conversion tracking. This will help you understand where your conversions are coming from, such as a Google search or a Bing Ads campaign.

Optimize Images

Are large images slowing down your Missouri website? That won't be a problem! We can run all your images through our image compression tools and even setup recurring image compression for newly added images in the future!

Add Live Chat

Would you like to try 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 Missouri 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 glitches to prevent recurring error messages.

Integrate reCaptcha on Contact Forms

If spambots are attacking your Missouri 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 Missouri website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best page speed? 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 Missouri site 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 Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Missouri website. We've seen businesses in and around Missouri 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 changes to your Missouri website? If your Missouri website was developed in a platform we work within, such as WordPress or Shopify, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Missouri Web Maintenance Firms

Ask the Missouri web support company 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 Missouri web maintenance team before you give them money, provide them website access, and give them complete access to your website for one of their web support packages. Here are some simple questions to ask:

• What kind of security do you have on your site? Do you scan client websites for security?
• What is the turnaround time for Missouri web support requests?
• Do you outsource your Missouri website support packages?
• What are your Missouri web maintenance costs?
• Do you have minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Missouri website updates?
• At what times of the day are you working and able to take our maintenance requests?
• Will you keep me informed about new updates within my platform?

If you ask any Missouri website services company these questions before subscribing to their website maintenance packages, you'll have a much better idea of the future relationship, the security of your website, and the expected turnaround time for important requests.
