One thing our Franklin digital web design company experiences regularly is businesses wanting to move to a new provider for new features, support, and maintenance. A new website might not be needed but instead, the business is in need of additional work or changes. This often happens when the website company the business is using doesn’t do complex features or offer ongoing support and maintenance. Changes like this are out of their wheelhouse. But sometimes, the business is tired of subpar results from their website company and they just want to make a change. Either way, this article will explain what you can expect when moving to a new provider.
The first thing our Franklin digital web design company does when a business moves to our website company for ongoing support and maintenance is to run an audit on the existing website. We need to understand more about the website, how it is built, and if there are any major issues that the business may not be aware of. If a requirement or suggestion is to move the website hosting then the website needs to be secure and free of malware before moving to another server. We provide a one-sheet to the business with the details of our audit. It is almost always reported as extremely valuable because of what is uncovered and the benefits that come from the suggestions to improve the website for a better user experience.
What costs can I expect when moving to a new website company?
Normally the audit will contain a lot of things that need to be fixed. These improvements are not for the benefit of our Franklin digital web design company but for the business to ensure the website is not faced with a costly and detrimental hack, and that the site is updated to alleviate bugs that hurt the customers. The actual cost depends on the severity of the fixes but most importantly, our maintenance retainer comes with a plan to and will take care of all of these things over the course of time. Additionally, we offer discounted fixed-price project pricing to take care of all the improvements in one fell swoop. Many customers like to bundle their feature requests and improvements into the one-time project price to get things done quickly and with some discount.
Some of the improvements a business can expect to see when moving to our website company:
- Security updates and missing patches installed
- Module and plugin review with recommended changes
- Users and security role assessment
- Website speed improvements
- Audit of the code and server logs with error reporting
- Health of tracking and analytics setup
- Search engine optimization audit
- User experience assessment with recommendations
