Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with the right web designer to fix nearly any website issue. These are some examples of website concerns that Ontario web maintenance agencies might fix:

• 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 Ontario site.
• Improve your page performance to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Take backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Fixing Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Improving technical SEO by 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 Ontario web maintenance services. Basically, Ontario website maintenance is anything a web developer or internet advertising expert does to change your website.

Our web maintenance and support company is happy to provide Toronto, Gatineau, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Oshawa, Windsor, St. Catharines, Barrie, Guelph, Kingston, Milton, Brantford, Thunder Bay, Peterborough, Belleville, Welland, North Bay, and Ottawa with fast website support services.

Pricing for Ontario Web Maintenance

While our website maintenance packages have a starting rate of $119.50/hour, pre-purchased blocks of time can bring the cost down to as low as $99.95/hour.

By obtaining a website maintenance retainer, you can avoid long-term contracts, hidden fees, minimum deductions, and expirations.

It's important to note that it's uncommon for us to receive tasks that can be completed within less than 10 minutes, as the task review process, responding to emails or phone calls, providing feedback, and logging the task typically take up a minimum of 10 minutes.

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

The Platforms We Maintain for Ontario Websites

For Ontario organizations, 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. Because of that, we tend to service only these platforms for Ontario websites:

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

In the past, we provided web maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Ontario small businesses. The reason we moved away from those platforms was to let our web maintenance experts focus more on training and support.

Example Website Maintenance Service List for Ontario Organizations

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

Basic Ontario Website Changes

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

Ontario Page Performance Improvements

If your Ontario website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting problems, caching concerns, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. It'll help improve page load times, which will make users and search engines happy.

Platform Updates / Security Upgrades

It's important to keep your Ontario site updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. The upgrades improve security and functionality - sometimes they're quick, so it's an easy win!

Plugin / Extension Updates

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

Google Search Console Issues

Did Google Search Console tell you about a coverage problem? If so, we'll look at the coverage issues, fix them, and update you on the status. By making Google happy, you'll boost your search engine rankings throughout Ontario and beyond!

Setup Structured Data

Have you ever noticed information like reviews or product prices in the listing of a Google organic search result? 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 business in Ontario, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on 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.

Add Google Tag Manager

Would you like to manage custom scripts more easily with Google Tag Manager? Not a problem! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Ontario website and even give you a crash course in using Google Tag Manager.

Implement Conversion Tracking

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

Image Compression (Optimization)

Do you have a Ontario website that's slow because of large images? No problem at all! We can run all your images through our image compression tools and even setup recurring image compression for newly added images in the future!

Setup Live Chat

Do you want to try live chat on your website? 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 Ontario 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 issues to prevent recurring error messages.

Integrate reCaptcha on Contact Forms

If spambots are attacking your Ontario 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 Ontario website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best website 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 site platform to send emails through an SMTP account instead of PHP mail.

Restrict IP Addresses

Is your Ontario 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 Ontario 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 update 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 tweaks based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your Ontario 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 Ontario website. We've seen businesses in and around Ontario 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 tweaks to your Ontario website? If your Ontario site was developed in a platform we work within, such as Shopify or WordPress, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Ontario Website Maintenance Agencies

If you're thinking about signing up for any Ontario website support package, make sure you ask the firm how their services work. By doing this, you'll be able to better understand your relationship with the Ontario web maintenance team before you give them money or give them access to your website. You can ask these easy questions:

• What kind of security do you have on your site? Do you audit client websites for security?
• What is the delivery time for Ontario website maintenance requests?
• Do you outsource your Ontario web support plans?
• What are your Ontario web maintenance costs?
• Are there minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Ontario website updates?
• At what times of the day are you working and able to take our maintenance requests?
• When there are new upgrades on my platform, will you let me know?

If you ask any Ontario site services agency these questions before subscribing to their web 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.
