Website Updates

Time is money so it is important for us to use tools such a Weebly that are easy, fast and functional, that result in a highly sustainable website. This platform is user-friendly, with an app for small changes and blogging so that clients can be part of the process. Currently one of the biggest hurdles of marketing in our digital world is the amount of time it takes to execute digital parts. Sorting algorithms are constantly changing and in response to that website software also has to update to accommodate the changes. If you do not keep up with technology then your site ends up running slower, choking up and backfiring in the digital space. A template update is different than ongoing development and should be done at least every 6 months to stay current.

Sustainable Website

Just as your phone needs to update apps and software to run, so does your website platform. Updates differ in time depending on what platform your site is on, when last it was updated, and how big it is. WordPress sites would take double the time it takes to update your Wix site, while the Weebly site is about a third. We specialize in Weebly sites but are able to have a look at other platforms for custom quotes.

Updating Process

An update involves changing the template to trigger a software update and then finding a template that works for your company’s needs on your phone, tablet and desktop regarding responsiveness. Older Weebly sites have older building blocks that need to be separated manually. This takes much longer but is worth doing in the long run if you would like to use sections for a custom feel that is responsive on mobile. All new features and added functionality are viewed and tested for the best results from desktop to tablet to mobile. All back-end site pages and site SEO parts are checked or added and updated according to recent sorting requirements.

A Basic Update is for smaller Weebly websites no bigger than five pages. This includes updating the software and finding a similar template to the one you previously had. Banner images are updated and template fonts and colors are programmed. Basic page layouts are adjusted for responsive viewing with crucial older building blocks separated and re-loaded if needed. According to current trends older footers are reduced and updated.

A Medium Update is for Weebly websites no bigger than 10 pages. This includes updating the software and template with up to three template changes. Banner images are fitted with three layout changes to client specifications. Logo and favicon are loaded with call to action for branded banners. The layout of each page is manually checked for responsive viewing on multiple devices. Outdated footers are updated and reduced on all the web pages for consistency. Old widgets are removed and HTML code updated. Site and page SEO is checked and updated. Basic aesthetics with sections on homepage and landing pages. Custom fonts, color, and background images can be added to landing pages.

A Super Update is for huge websites between 20 to 50 pages. These sites end up taking the same amount of time as building a new site. Templates are carefully viewed to find one that works for the purpose of your site. Outdated widgets that are not responsive are removed. Website page silo is mapped out and rethought for a better user browsing experience. As many related pages as possible are combined and duplicate content removed. Each page is manually checked for responsive layouts on multiple devices. Branding is added with page banners, logo, and favicon. Page interest is added with sections, spacers, dividers, color blocks, layers and font styles, etc. Footers are added or reduced with link-building, widgets, social icons and buttons. Basic SEO parts are added to the site and the advanced Google account is checked and updated for Map, Analytics, and Webmasters and other Google apps reviewed.
