Why is managing your website so important?

website management

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 Out-of-date software is the most frequent reason why websites get hacked, by having your website managed by SWSweb, we not only add security measures to protect your site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.

Our website management services

Our range of website management services are provided to ensure your website performs the best it can. At SWSweb, we are specialists in WordPress management, with years of experience in specific WordPress issues, but we cater to all sorts of other content management systems, including Shopify, Joomla, Wix, Weebly, Squarespace and HTML sites.

Our ad-hoc website support service is perfect when you need a one-off fix or some content management, or we offer recurring monthly maintenance packages for WordPress and Joomla sites to keep your site hosted, backed up and software updates performed regularly to keep your site secure and hacker-free.

Our website designers and developers can build any website, from a simple information site to a full eCommerce store, ensuring the user experience of your site is optimal. And with our SEO specialists helping with search engine optimisation and pay-per-click advertising, we have a fantastic team of web professionals helping your business reach its full potential online.

Brands and clients we have worked with

What our customers say

Our company has used SWSweb as a web hosting and maintenance partner for a few years now. Together we've delivered at least 50 websites so far for our various clients. I'd recommend the services provided by the SWSweb team to any business large or small. Richard is superb to work with, thorough, accommodating and always sympathetic to our needs (no matter how unreasonable they maybe!). The help SWSweb have provided to us has been a major contributing factor to getting us where we are today as a business, I couldn't be more grateful as a result.

FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Plans and packages

At SWSweb, our team of website specialists mainly focus on WordPress websites; this is where our speciality lies, as it has the largest market share! However, we also work with other websites, such as Joomla, Shopify, Wix, Weebly and Squarespace.

Our WordPress management prices start from £49 per month, plus VAT, for our essential maintenance package. This package includes hosting, daily backups, WordPress updates, real-time malware scanning, 24/7 uptime monitoring, thirty minutes of support time to help with content edits and fixes, and a monthly report.

More services can be added, such as monthly support time to help with content edits or design changes.

We can tailor any website management service to your requirements, including SEO options. Contact us, and we'll be happy to discuss your requirements.
