The Platforms We Maintain for Québec, QC Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Québec businesses, who have been immersed in multiple website platforms over the years. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our web support agency for Québec websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

As a website support firm, we used to maintain and support Joomla and Magento websites for Québec-area businesses. However, we chose to move away from those platforms to allow our web maintenance experts to focus more heavily on training and support within the other systems.

Example Website Maintenance Service List for Québec, QC Businesses

We are often asked for detailed examples of Québec web support requests that might come up after the launch of a website. Here are several examples of Québec website support services we've been asked to perform in the past and would be more than happy to provide to you!

Simple Québec Website Changes

Your Québec 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.

Québec Website Speed Improvements

If your Québec website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting issues, caching issues, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. User experience and SEO will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Upgrades / Security Updates

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

Plugin / Extension Updates

If your Québec website has functionality developed and maintained by a third-party, it is important to update those plugins and extensions to include 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

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. This will help your search engine rankings, throughout Québec and beyond, by making Google happy!

Implement Structured Data

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the 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 business in Québec, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on Your Website

Adding Open Graph Tags to your website 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 Québec business.

Setup Google Tag Manager

Are you interested in adding Google Tag Manager to your website to help you manage custom scripts more easily? That won't be a problem! We'll happily install Google Tag Manager on your Québec website and teach you how to use it.

Setup Conversion Tracking

If you are interested in understanding the benefit of an online advertising campaign for your Québec website, it is important to setup conversion tracking. It'll help you understand where your conversions come from, like direct traffic, referral links, organic search, or paid ads.

Image Compression (Optimization)

Are large images slowing down your Québec website? Not 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!

Setup Live Chat

Do you want to try live chat on your website? Our experts can help you pick the right live chat system, install the tracking code, and customize the design to match your Québec business branding!

Review Error Logs for Issues

To reduce unwanted submissions on your Québec website, we can setup an invisible or checkbox reCaptcha.

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.

IP Address Restrictions

Have you been getting fake orders, contact submissions, or live chats from a particular network? Our team can help set up IP restrictions so your website doesn't get hit with as much malicious traffic.

Create Website Backups

Would you like a backup of your Québec website? Let us help you create one-time or scheduled backups that you can store locally or offsite.

Create a Development Website

Before you do a major update or extension installation, it's a good idea to setup a development or staging site. 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 Québec 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.
