Grafixation web design and business services

Keeping your web site content fresh has two distinct advantages:

1. Search engines - such as Google - will rank your site at a higher position in the results.
2. Your visitors will know that your information is current and accurate.

How often should it be updated and how much will it cost?

Small updates at six week intervals should be quite sufficient. We charge by the hour, but most updates will very quick; we invoice the cumulative hours on a monthly basis.

Fresh and new

It can be annoying to find what you were looking for in a search engine's results only to discover that the page hasn't been updated for years or that the frustrating "404 - File not found" message appears.

At Grafixation, we are pleased to help you to maintain your Web site and we only charge you for work we actually do - there are no expensive monthly maintenance charges.

Little and often

We recommend that your site should have regular attention. Of course, it's important to change vital facts such as price or product variations and event bookings, but regular small updates to your site will also help with it's ranking in the search engine results.

An update could be the alteration of a few words on each page or re-arrangement of paragraphs and images, or it could be a completely new look to reflect a change in your business image. At your request, we can produce a report which lists keywords or keyphrases that people might type into a search engine when looking for a business like yours. We can recommend ways of embedding these efficiently and effectively in order to make your pages "search engine friendly" without detracting from it's readability.

You can also improve your ranking in the search engine results by refreshing page contents regularly; we recommend an interval of a month to six weeks. Search engine software ("Spiders") gather information from your web site at irregular intervals, part of this is the age of the page being visited.

We guarantee to begin site updates within 24 hours or tell you immediately when it will be performed. A small site update can sometimes be finished within an hour of your contact.

Content Management systems

When we design your site, we can also include the ability for you or your staff to update it by using a Content Management System (CMS). Software such as this was designed for use by those who have little or no knowledge of web design, and provides content contributors with an easy, non-technical way to publish documents and updates to their web sites.
