TLW Web Design

Information about Web Maintenance

Websites that we design are custom sites and therefore are difficult for updates by someone who is not familiar with html. We design our sites with the intentions of maintaning the site for you and/or providing the files to another web designer for their maintenance of the body of your site. We do not provide dynamic sites or templated sites and do not work with any of these companies directly.

Web maintenance is one of our specialties. Whether you have a current site that you are maintaining yourself or you have us build your custom site for you we will work with you to keep your site up-to-date and dynamic.

Have you ever gone to a site and come back a year later to see that their calendar is a year old? This is easy to do if you do not have someone maintaining your information regularly. The web is a great place for people to find out what is happening with your company or ministry but nothing will turn people off quicker than seeing a calendar from 2000 or a phone number or email address that changed a year ago.

We will be happy to discuss with you the importance of keeping your site current as well as your individual needs.
