Who Needs Web Maintenance in Casper, WY

Every Casper website will need some website maintenance at some point. It's because the internet is always changing. But don't worry, our Casper web support costs aren't too high, so you can afford it! Website maintenance in Casper might be needed for these reasons:

• When a hosting provider upgrades their servers, they may remove older versions of PHP that your Casper 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. 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 Casper were looking for ecommerce developers to help migrate their websites.
• An owner of a Casper website who has been infected by malware or some other kind of malicious activity needs to check the site for exploits and clean it up. In most cases, this happens because the website owner didn't pay attention to the first two website support examples.
• To ensure future visitors to your Casper website receive accurate information about your organization, products, or services, your Casper website content needs to be refreshed. Maintaining your Casper 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. It is important to understand the future needs of your Casper business when planning budgets and schedules for website maintenance and support.

How We Perform Casper, WY Web Maintenance

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

A Casper website maintenance service usually starts with an email from you. Your email gets routed into our ticket system and automatically assigned to your project manager. Anyone on our team can work on the ticket without delay, resulting in faster turnaround time.

The process for Casper web 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.
