Ongoing Maintenance and Support
It is important to understand when building a website, that there are inevitable ongoing costs to maintain its presence online. It is very much like buying a car. There is the initial outlay for the purchase, but the car requires constant care, maintenance and servicing to keep it running smoothly on the road.

The internet is made up of a lot of moving parts that are working together like cogs in a machine. web development company Ballina It is actually quite a fragile eco-system that all websites are relying upon to smoothly function. The parts of this machine are constantly evolving and being updated, and it isn’t uncommon for something to go wrong with a website simply because one or more of the myriad of interlinking technologies that are working together have been updated and are no longer fully compatible with one another. This may also be because the platform that your website is built on needs to be updated to its latest version so that it plays nice with the other moving parts.

It is best practice to keep the platform (technology) that a website is built on constantly up to date for both functionality and security purposes. On platforms such as WIX and Weebly, this updating process is taken care of automatically, but for WordPress websites the updating process is far more technical and hands on.
