| Maintenance
Designing and
creating an effective website is only the beginning. As an integral part of your business, your site should
always be fresh and exciting.
A website is a long term commitment
just as your business is. Visitors to your site expect current
information. It requires diligence on your part to keep it
current and to promote your products in an effective and innovative
way.
You'll need to give some
thought to how your website will be maintained. You have a few
options. You
could do the updates and/or changes yourself. Will you
take advantage of a maintenance contract from a
designer? Or, a little of both?
PDC
uses the software application Microsoft FrontPage
for website development, although not exclusively. You can purchase
this application and install it on your own
computer. However, just a word of
caution, you must be familiar with working with
computers, word processors, servers and some Hyper
Text Markup Language (HTML). Some of your
pages may also use other programming languages
or applications to achieve the effects or content you
want on your website. Your website can even be designed
so that you can update it through your browser. Maintenance
contracts are available and can be customized to fit
your needs. Specific updates or changes can be done at
an hourly rate also.
