Reactive Greece Website Support

Most Greece website owners wouldn't want a web developer messing around with their site without their permission. That's why we consider web maintenance a reactive service. You can count on our company to keep your Greece website running smoothly. There are some web support services we can provide your Greece website in a proactive manner though.

Who Needs Web Support in Greece, NY

There will come a time when every Greece website needs some sort of maintenance. The reason is simply that the internet is always changing. However, we don't charge a lot for Greece website support, so you'll be able to afford it! There are a few reasons why a website in Greece might need maintenance:

• When a hosting company upgrades their servers, they may remove older versions of PHP that your Greece website was originally developed to support. That means you'll have to refactor your app or upgrade to a newer framework that supports the latest PHP release. There's no way you can expect custom web functionality to work forever.
• Content management systems or ecommerce platforms eventually deprecate old versions so their teams can focus on the new ones. This recently happened to Magento 1.x ecommerce store owners who were forced to migrate to Magento 2.x, or an alternative ecommerce platform, because Magento 1.x had reached an “End of Life” status and would no longer be maintained or updated by Magento. As a result, Magento 1.x ecommerce businesses in Greece were looking for ecommerce developers to help migrate their websites.
• 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. This can be a time-consuming activity, and often happens because the website owner wasn't being mindful of the first two web maintenance examples, listed above.
• You need to refresh your Greece website content when it's outdated or doesn't explain your organization, products, or services well enough for future visitors. Keeping your Greece website up to date is key to its success.

As you can see, there are many reasons a website may require maintenance above and beyond the obvious reasons of just wanting to update something on the website. Plan your budget and schedules for website support and maintenance based on your Greece business's potential future needs.

How We Perform Greece, NY Web Maintenance

It's our job to understand your website maintenance needs, schedule your work in a timely fashion, and follow up with your Greece business after the work is done.

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

For requests that originate from phone or live chat, a similar process to handling your Greece website support services unfolds. A support request is entered into our ticket system by the person in the conversation with you, so the work order can be routed to the right web developer.
