Website Management Services
We secure, update and optimise your website
At SWSweb, our in-house team of web experts offer complete website management, including fast hosting, backups, security updates, content management and website design & development.
What is website management?
Website management is the ongoing process of keeping your website secure, up to date, and optimised to perform at its best.
Management of a website combines many tasks, including hosting, backups, security updates, monitoring, refreshing the design and content management to keep the site up to date.
These are all tasks that take specialists to get right and keep on top of, ensuring your website remains current, secure and working for you.

Why is managing your website so important?
Much like a car, websites require regular management and maintenance, from adding fresh content, fixing broken links or updating software to help reduce the risk of being hacked; every website needs management to help it stay fresh and ahead of the competition.
Security is a crucial aspect of website management. Out-of-date software is the most frequent reason why websites get hacked, by having your website managed by SWSweb, we not only add security measures to protect your site better but also have frequent backups to restore your site should something go wrong. Platforms like WordPress and Joomla release security updates regularly; we recommend updating all software on your website every month.
Search engines like fresh content; you will slip down the rankings without keeping your website up to date. Most websites at the top of the rankings add new content regularly or refresh old pages to keep a site current and the user experience up to date. Fresh content will keep Google regularly returning to index that new content. Let us help by being on hand to add new content whenever needed.

FAQs
What's the difference between ad-hoc support and recurring monthly maintenance?
Ad-hoc support is for clients who only need help occasionally, such as adding a new blog post, adding new products to an eCommerce store, or making a design change. We only help when you need us to; there is no hosting, backups, or proactive website monitoring. This service is perfect for you if your site is run on Shopify, Squarespace, or Weebly, as we can't host or manage their security, as it's built into the platform.
Our Joomla and WordPress monthly maintenance plans include hosting, backups, security updates, real-time malware protection, and 24/7 uptime monitoring. These self-hosted platforms need regular maintenance to stay secure and up to date, or else they are prone to being hacked. We keep your site running and secure at all times so you can focus on running your business. We're essentially your web department, on hand when you need us, but always working behind the scenes monitoring your site to ensure its continued health.
What hosting does your website management service include?
All our website management packages include fast UK hosting using the advanced Litespeed server technology.
The Essential and Pro plans utilise shared hosting, which works brilliantly for the majority of websites.
For those who need their own resources, have large websites (10GB or more) or have tens of thousands of visitors a month, a dedicated server can be arranged.
How frequently will my website be managed?
All packages include plugin updates to your site every month, which is recommended for all sites as updates on WordPress and Joomla are frequently released.
What tasks are carried out during website management?
This depends on the package you choose, but all packages include core file upgrades to WordPress or Joomla, plugins, and theme updates.
Hosting is monitored 24/7 for uptime; should something happen, we will be working on it, hopefully before you even realise it.
Daily backups of your site are also conducted; for dedicated servers, it's daily and hourly!
You also receive a security audit of your site to check for malware and other malicious code to ensure no one has hacked your website.
Can I manage my website myself?
Yes, if you prefer to manage your website yourself, this is possible without one of our plans.
However, it is your responsibility to keep your website hosted, backed up, monitored and secure by completing regular updates.
For less than a coffee shop coffee a day, we think our Essential management plan is worth every penny to save you this time.
What website management packages do you offer?
We offer three website management packages: Essential, Pro and Dedicated.
Subject to the size and how often your site changes, it will depend on which package to go for.
We can also tailor a package to suit exactly what you need.
