When you manage a website in HWCMS, you know that there are quite a few advantages. At Hoogma Webdesign, for example, we take care of the technical matters and maintenance of your website, such as performing updates for security and efficiency, and keeping the scripts on which your website runs up-to-date. In most cases, you as the owner of the website will not notice this. But once in a while we have to make a big adjustment, and that moment is coming soon. We are happy to tell you what will happen with your Hoogma Webdesign website, and what you might notice.
A future-proof website for all customers of Hoogma Webdesign
This news does not only apply to our customers with an HWCMS website, but also to customers with a custom built or WordPress styled website. It is always important to remember that a website is like a home. You have to maintain it. It's not that you build a website and then don't have to worry about it for years. Unfortunately, some still think that a website `works by itself`. That can go well for a long time, until your website suddenly stops working. Why?
Why should a website be maintained?
Websites, the Internet and search engines are constantly changing. The digital world fluctuates, and you need to keep your website up to date to keep up and to be found online. For example, updates must be made to your website to keep the site safe. Fortunately, as a customer of HWCMS, you don't have to worry about that, because for an attractive monthly fee we ensure that the HWCMS websites are always secured according to the latest methods, and that they are and remain easily accessible for your visitors.
What do I notice from the work behind HWCMS?
Important for the people who work with HWCMS is of course to know what exactly is going on, and whether they and the traffic on their website will notice anything from this work. We can already report that a large part of the script that HWCMS consists of needs to be rewritten. You may notice something of this, although of course we do our best to let the work pass unnoticed to you and the visitors of your website as much as possible. The maintenance and optimization of the web servers and platforms is always done behind the scenes.
What do you notice about the changes in the script? Things may temporarily work differently than you are used to. Both the front-end and the back-end will be adjusted to make the HWCMS websites completely up-to-date and future-proof. We expect the work to be completed by the end of October.
Outdated website? We are happy to check this for you
We are also happy to carry out maintenance for customers of Hoogma Webdesign with a custom website if desired. Is your website older than 3 years? Then it is certainly wise to contact with us again. If nothing is done to a website for a longer period of time, some scripts on which your website runs will be outdated and need to be rewritten. The world of programming languages is dynamic, it is constantly changing and you need to be up-to-date to stay relevant.
Search engines respond not only to keywords, but also to the script behind your website, and are more likely to show websites with newer scripts, which are well built, than websites that run on old systems, and are poorly accessible or have many pages with `dead` links contain.
You too probably know an example of such an old website, which you come across from time to time. How annoying is it when certain plugins don't work, or are redirected to an Error page? You can prevent this by ensuring that your website is properly maintained and maintained.
Is an HWCMS website for you?
Perhaps you have considered switching to an HWCMS website. Is such a move a lot of work? That's not too bad, we are happy to transfer logos, photos, texts and files from your old website to a new one. We ensure that the website has the appearance and colors of your corporate identity. A completely new look? That is also possible, we can possibly design a logo for you or help you find a suitable look for your company.
So you see, a website is just like a home. It's nice when it looks good, but maintaining it is just as important. Because otherwise it will become less and less liveable.
Do you also want to have and keep your website future-proof? We are happy to watch with you! Feel free to contact Leo Hoogma or the support team of Hoogma Webdesign in Beerta, and we will immediately see what we can do for you!
