What are website management services for small business?
Web site management services are defined as the ongoing process of maintaining your already existing website. It is important to bear in mind the key word of ‘existing’ here. This is because that without a website already published to the internet, there is nothing that can be managed.
What do small business website management services include?
Usually in the website management business, the types of services that are included when it comes to managing your website are:
1. Website Redesign Services
One of the most common form of website management services is website redesign. But what is exactly is website redesign and how does it work?
Website redesign is where you already have existing web design for your website – normally created by a professional website manager and designer, which you want to be changed according to your expectations.
But why would you want your website to be re-designed?
Frankly, this is a recurring theme in small business website management from our experience. The choice for redesign comes down to how you want your Online presence to look and feel to your existing or prospective customers. Maybe you want to change your colors from green to red across the main menu or bottom menu on your website, but are all confused by the technology and want your previous web designer to do this for you.
2. Updating Files and Website Features
Its important to highlight that websites are an ongoing investment in terms of time if you plan to do everything yourself. Although you may already have access to your website as part of a web design service, you may not be clear nor feel confident to mess around with a lot of technological aspects of your website and prefer to simply write articles instead. In a case like that, you can reach out to your website manager, where they can address any concerns that you have an action any tasks if necessary like uploading and updating necessary files.
3. Website Reinstallation
In rare cases, a complete website reinstallation is needed. Why would someone need their website to be reinstalled? Some common reasons include a desired change to a different website system, accidental deletion of critical files the website needs to function, among other very specific, edge cases.
Many business owners desire full service web design and management to gain the best of both worlds from one firm/individual. Instead of just outsourcing website maintenance.
What is a website manager for a small business?
Web management services for small businesses are similar to website management services for different business types. The underlying principle is the same: a small business website manager means a individual web designer or other third-party (such as a web design agency), that has permanent access to your website. They will be able to address the points above when it comes to website reinstallation, updating files and even redesign. They may have been the web designer you have chose as part of a web design service, or as part of a completely different service. The first choice however is the most commonplace.
Is a website manager the same as a website administrator?
Yes, in the context of the overall maintenance and administration of your website, a website manager is synonymous with a website administrator. Without getting too technical, a website administrator / manager can make modifications to your website that administrative users can’t . Here’s an article on Indeed that describes in further detail what a website administrator is.
