Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. Just like a physical storefront, it requires regular maintenance to remain functional, secure, and relevant. Websure has over 15 years of experience in managing and supporting digital and marketing teams to ensure their sites are serving the needs of their target audience. In the following paragraphs you will see some of the motivating factors for maintaining and updating your website.
Security and Protection: Security threats are constantly evolving. With reputation so easily challenged, it is essential that regular updates and security patches are implemented to protect and safeguard your asset, and your customers.
Improved User Experience: Evidence proves that a non-optimised website leads to a reduction of trust, loyalty and conversions. By focusing on a great user experience, you mitigate the risks associated with a non-performant site.
Better SEO and Search Rankings: If you want to stay ahead of the competition, it’s worth considering the impact of a website that is not regularly updated with fresh content. Simply put, search engines favour sites that are current, fast and fully functional.
Business Credibility and Professionalism: We exist in a world where reputation is hard to build and easy to lose. By focusing on aligning your brand with external messaging, you significantly increase your chances of maintaining a reputation that is trustworthy, reliable and appealing.
Cost Savings in the Long Run: Like maintaining a car, or looking after your health, neglecting your website can lead to significant costs down the line. By being proactive with your security and maintenance, you mitigate against this risk and save in the long term.
Of course, whether you maintain your website internally or engage a third party is entirely dependent on your resources. If you have the time and expertise internally you won’t require the services of Websure. That being said, by utilising our services you will free up time for your marketing teams to focus on other revenue generating initiatives and the general business growth goals.
