• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Updating apps and plugins to make them safer and more functional.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your Oklahoma website's navigation menu.
• Improve your page speed to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Backing up your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Fixing site audit issues or Google Search Console coverage problems.
• Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website problems.

The previously mentioned services are just a glimpse of what we view as possible Oklahoma website support services. Basically, Oklahoma web maintenance is anything a web developer or internet marketer does to change your website.

Reactive Oklahoma Website Support

We consider web maintenance a reactive service because most Oklahoma website owners don't want a developer messing with their website without their permission. You can count on our company to keep your Oklahoma website running smoothly. There are some web support services we can provide your Oklahoma website in a proactive manner though.

Who Needs Web Maintenance in Oklahoma

Every Oklahoma website will need some website maintenance at some point. It's just that the internet changes all the time. Not to worry though, our Oklahoma web support cost isn't expensive so it should be affordable for you to maintain your website! Website maintenance in Oklahoma might be needed for these reasons:

• When a hosting provider upgrades their servers, they may remove older versions of PHP that your Oklahoma 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 from the past to work forever.
• In order to focus on maintaining the newer version of an ecommerce platform or content management system, they eventually have to deprecate the previous releases. Magento 1.x store owners recently had to migrate to Magento 2.x or an alternative ecommerce platform because Magento 1.x had reached "End of Life" status and wouldn't be maintained or updated. As a result, Magento 1.x ecommerce businesses in Oklahoma were looking for ecommerce developers to help migrate their websites.
• When a website owner has become a victim of malware or some other form of malicious activity, the Oklahoma website will need to be reviewed for security exploits and cleaned of malware. In most cases, this happens because the website owner didn't pay attention to the first two website support examples.
• You need to refresh your Oklahoma website content when it's outdated or doesn't explain your organization, products, or services well enough for future visitors. This type of web maintenance is critical to ensuring your Oklahoma website is benefiting you.

There are many reasons why a website might need maintenance, other than just to update something. When planning budgets and schedules for web maintenance and support, consider your Oklahoma business's potential future needs.

How We Perform Oklahoma Website Maintenance

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

Most Oklahoma website support services start with an email from the website owner. That email is routed into our ticket system and automatically assigned to the project manager on your account. Anyone on our team can work on the ticket without delay, resulting in faster turnaround time.

The process for Oklahoma web maintenance 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.

We're often asked for examples of Oklahoma web support requests after a website launches. We've performed these Oklahoma website support services in the past, and would be happy to do it for you too!

Simple Oklahoma Website Changes

Your Oklahoma website might need a paragraph updated, an image changed, or a new page added. This is just normal, routine web maintenance to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Oklahoma Page Speed Improvements

We can analyze your Oklahoma website for hosting issues, caching issues, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and more if it's slow. It'll help improve page load times, which will make users and search engines happy.

Platform Updates / Security Fixes

It's important to keep your Oklahoma website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!

Plugin / Extension Upgrades

It's important to update your Oklahoma website's plugins and extensions to reflect the latest changes by the developers. This is similar to the idea of updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality issues.

Google Search Console Issues

Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we can fix the coverage issues, and let you know how it went. Make Google happy, and you'll rank higher throughout Oklahoma and beyond!

Setup Structured Data

Do you ever see product prices or reviews in Google organic search results? This is structured data, which is a standardized way to describe the content on a webpage, whether it's a local Oklahoma business, or an ecommerce product.

Add Open Graph Tags on Your Website

When people share links of your Oklahoma business on social media, your website will look better if you add Open Graph Tags. These tags help define an image, title, and description for your each page on your website.

Implement Google Tag Manager

Would you like to manage custom scripts more easily with Google Tag Manager? No problem at all! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Oklahoma website and even give you a crash course in using Google Tag Manager.

Tracking conversions is important if you want to understand the benefits of online advertising for your Oklahoma website. This will help you understand where your conversions are coming from, such as a Google search or a Bing Ads campaign.

Image Optimization

Would you like to try live chat? If you'd like us to recommend the best live chat system for your Oklahoma business, install the tracking code, and customize the design for your branding, we can do it!

Setup a Caching Plugin

Are you interested in installing a caching plugin in your Oklahoma website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best website performance? 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 Oklahoma website 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 Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma website. We've seen businesses in and around Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma website? If your Oklahoma site was developed in a platform we work within, such as WordPress or Shopify, we'll be happy to help!

The Platforms We Maintain for Oklahoma Websites

For Oklahoma businesses, we have a team of web designers and web developers who have experience with multiple platforms. Nevertheless, mastering a handful of platforms is better than trying to be an expert on everything. For that reason, our web maintenance company for Oklahoma websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

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

Questions to Ask Oklahoma Web Support Companies

If you're thinking about signing up for any Oklahoma web maintenance package, make sure you ask the company how their services work. By doing this, you'll be able to better understand your relationship with the Oklahoma web maintenance team before you give them money or give them access to your website. Let's go over some simple questions to ask:

• What kind of security do you have on your site? Do you scan client websites for security?
• When can I expect an average Oklahoma website maintenance request to be completed?
• Do you outsource your Oklahoma web support services?
• How much does Oklahoma website support cost?
• Are there minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Oklahoma website updates?
• Can you tell me what your normal business hours are?
• When there are new updates on my platform, will you let me know?

We find it beneficial to run these questions by any Oklahoma website services company before subscribing to their website maintenance packages, since it will provide much better understanding for you regarding the future relationship, the security of your website, and the expected turnaround time for important maintenance requests.

We also offer website management for Oklahoma websites, starting at $50/month, if you'd like the peace of mind knowing a company is proactively upgrading your site.

To get started, if you are new to our web maintenance company, we'll need you to pre-purchase a block of time which includes a discount on our hourly rate. If you are an existing client in Oklahoma, you are welcome to choose monthly billing at our higher hourly rate or continue to pre-purchase time and receive discounted hourly rates for your website updates.
