Web Hosting PLUS Packages
Professional Small Business Website Hosting & More
Business sites need more than just basic website hosting and a domain to stay secure and trustworthy. Among other things, they need regular security updates, SSL certificate renewals and backups. DIY hosting packages don’t always cover all those vital extras. My “Hosting PLUS” packages do. Business sites also need ongoing technical and marketing support (here’s why), so a little of that is also included.
Thinking of moving your existing site to one of these professional small business website hosting packages? Please book a callback first, as we’ll need to discuss details of the site transfer. Whilst I don’t normally charge a transfer-in fee for static sites or those using common open-source CMS systems like WordPress, some setups can complicate the process.
Why Websites Need Maintenance
Hackers keep finding new ways to attack sites and their visitors -- often invisibly. So many sites unknowingly spread malware. No site is too small to be a target. If it gets visitors, it can be used to spread malware. That's bad for your customers and your business.
Also, the web evolves rapidly. Technologies advance daily, and older systems become unusable without updates.
Left unchecked, such external factors can break any site. Site performance also directly affects SEO. So regular website maintenance is business-critical.
Why Business Websites Need Support
Starting a business is rarely easy. That's because growth only occurs outside the comfort zone. So having an experienced advisor to bounce ideas off can help a lot.
In fact, marketing evolves as rapidly as technology. So many parts of online marketing probably don't work the way you think. Still, your competitors actively manage and promote their websites. So you'll have to do that, too.
There's a lot to learn -- and sadly, lots of outdated, inexperienced and even fake "advice" floating around. Most is only valid in specific contexts or for certain sizes or types of firms.
Whilst established firms often hire business coaches, small firms often struggle to work out things like pricing, branding and marketing strategies, and marketing automation on their own. That takes years of costly trial-and-error. So many small businesses fail by not seeking experienced advice that is tailored to their own situation. Having specialised in supporting small startups for almost 20 years, I can help with a lot more than "just" building websites, SEO, content, email and video marketing.
Finally, whilst most of the sites I build are designed specifically to help site owners manage their content, many small business owners haven't got the time or inclination to do that regularly. It's easy to forget the details of tasks that aren't habitual. So re-learning such details often takes longer than just asking me to do those occasional edits.
