Who Needs Website Maintenance in Roswell, NM

Every Roswell website will need some web support at some point. The reason is simply that the internet is always changing. But don't worry, our Roswell website support costs aren't too high, so you can afford it! There are a few reasons why a website in Roswell might need maintenance:

• When a hosting provider upgrades their servers, they may remove older versions of PHP that your Roswell website was originally developed to support. When this happens, you need to refactor your application or upgrade to a newer framework that supports the newer PHP version. You can't expect custom web functionality programmed in the past to work forever without any improvements.
• 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1.x store owners recently had to migrate to Magento 2.x, or an alternative ecommerce platform, because Magento 1.x was no longer maintained by Magento after it reached "End of Life". Roswell-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. In most cases, this happens because the website owner didn't pay attention to the first two web maintenance examples.
• When the content on your Roswell website, which explains your organization, products, or services becomes outdated and needs to be refreshed to help ensure future visitors receive accurate information about your operation. Maintaining your Roswell website is key to making sure it's working for you.

Above and beyond just updating something, there are plenty of reasons why a website might need maintenance. Plan your budget and schedules for website support and maintenance based on your Roswell business's potential future needs.

How We Perform Roswell, NM Web Maintenance

Our professional website maintenance team puts in a lot of effort to understand your needs, schedule your work on time, and follow up with your Roswell business after the work is done.

Most web support services start with an email from you, the owner of the Roswell website. Your email gets routed into our ticket system and automatically assigned to your project manager. We can then work on the ticket without delay, which leads to faster turnaround and easier internal communication.

The process for Roswell website support services that come from phone or chat is similar. The support request is entered into our ticket system by the person in the conversation with you, which allows the work order to be routed to the most appropriate web developer on our team.
