Web Site Management Program

Overview

After your site is published, RB Design Studio continues to work with you to ensure the site’s effectiveness is maximized.

Our experience has shown that for an internet site to be successful, it needs constant care and updating. Internet sites simply do not work if they are published once and then left without changes and updates. One of the greatest causes of failure for internet sites is when companies buy a designed site, place it on the Internet and then ignore it.

To help companies make their site work, RB Design Studio takes over all aspects of the ongoing site design and management including changes and modifications to the pages.

Site Changes

During the month, any changes or modifications to the existing pages are undertaken. This includes changes to the text on the page or to the images.

If you have a regular marketing or PR campaign, either in-house or through an agency, we can be included on the circulation list and when we receive items, will automatically add them to the site.

Additional Pages

New pages can be added to the site at any time. We undertake to fully integrate them into the site format so that they become part of the existing site’s look and feel.

All pages are fully checked against the latest HTML specifications to ensure compatibility across different browser software and computer systems. All links to pages and images are cross checked.

There is a charge for new pages added to the site.

Monthly Updates

Every month we will refresh your pages with a new issue date and reload them to the server. This ensures that users are confident the site is always carrying current information and also ensures better placement in Search Engine listings. These monthly updates are in addition to other site changes you might require during the month. You can be confident that the site is looking current to the users.

Regular Site Checks

Like any computer file, information can become corrupted. We check the site on a regular basis to ensure it is fully operational and no links or images have become corrupted. Any breaks are immediately rectified.

Search Engine Linking

We submit your site to the main Search Engines at the commencement of the Management Program. We then check back on a regular basis to ensure the main Search Engines are continuing to index the site. Each month, additional pages will be seeded into the Search Engines to ensure they remain indexed. While no company can maximize your position in those listings, we can ensure you remain indexed and relink where the Search Engines have dropped you.

Costs

The basis of our Management Program is an agreed monthly fee to cover all aspects of the site modification, service and management, based on complexity of the site. The only additional charge for site management is for the generation of completely new sections on the site – all existing pages can be changed within the agreed fee. News items and general PR additions are covered under this management fee.
