Why Website Maintenance Is Important

Websites are driven by technology & as we all know, technology never ever stands still! The website industry is one of the most dynamic industries on the planet & for this reason all websites require regular maintenance. Maintenance can range from just a few tweaks to many updates to the plugins a website requires to operate, operate efficiently & operate safely. Along with web server technologies forever being updated the requirement for maintenance can come from many different angles for different reasons & very varying frequencies.

An unloved, badly maintained website is like many things that require some TLC; the longer they are left without maintenance the longer it takes to correct issues when they arise & that goes hand in hand with the cost, both in terms of financially & frustration, in the site being inoperative, no longer functioning or not visible at all. Visitors who are used to seeing your website being available & seeing a website that isn't functioning correctly, or not visible at all, will get the impression the website owner doesn't really care.
