“Why manage when you don’t have to?!”
welcome to * iWG * web management.
we keep you up to speed, preserve sanity, keep security in check,
and still have time to say hello 🙂
SANITY
Running a business is no walk in the park. You have a million things to do! Managing your website isn’t one of them. Stay focused on what you do best and leave the back-end to us! We keep your site optimal 24/7; you keep your sanity and all the benefits 🙂
SPEED
People just move on if it takes too long for your website to load. Optimal is a line somewhere between ‘bells & whistles’ and decent load times – there is a threshold that will keep your visitors on page. We’ll find it and maintain it for your site. One less worry!
security
Let’s face it, security holes exist and need to be fixed. Complacency leads to vulnerability. We take the hassle out of the equation when we manage your website. Our job is not to find flaws but to keep your site up-to-date minimizing risk. Now, you are good to go 🙂
WHY WEB MANAGEMENT?
Your Website Should Work As Good As it Looks!
. . . here’s how we can help . . .
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
The crux of what we do. Most website issues stem from neglect and in some cases, total abandonment of the back-end. Bandwidth woes, plugin conflicts, storage, mailbox alerts, and other demons need to be fixed!
SPEED THINGS UP
Not quite quantum yet, but current tech does allow for fast load times – if you get it right! We prefer ‘optimal’ to ‘fast’ as it is relative to what you have to work with. Still, there’s a threshold to beat. And you will beat it!
SECURE YOUR SITE
We’ll start with a once-over malware scan. Then, plug in industry standard safety protocols. This, coupled with a routine maintenance plan will help you avoid downtime and host issues. Add backup copy to the list!
DESIGN & MAKEOVERS
The converse is also true. Websites that work great should look the part. Our design team can do wonders with any site that needs refurbishing. Besides, a design upgrade based on new protocols adds stability, safety.
What we manage
Over the years we leaned more and more towards WordPress as the go-to CMS (Content Management System) on which to build and maintain websites. We are now 100% WP based. We still manage HTML5 sites but our focus is on WP themed sites for optimal solutions. We try to be master of one rather than jack of all. Still, no matter what the platform, if we can help, we will!
What needs managing
WordPress is a free open-source CMS that uses a plugin architecture and template system. A major source of disconnect stems from conflicts between plugins per se, plugins and themes, or both at odds with WordPress itself. Then there’s web hosting, caching, CDN, etc. Managing the back-end well ameliorates some of these thorny issues.
Costs to manage
We would say 60% of WordPress sites rely on only a handful of free plugins to function allowing for routine management. Issues arise when outdated plugins pose security risks or conflict with each other or wordpress itself. If nipped in the bud, conflicts are less likely, efficiency goes up and running costs remain low! Check PRICING.
WE NOT ONLY MANAGE, WE CAN HELP TOUCH AND TIDY UP SOME!
SPRUCE THINGS UP FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS … CONNECT SOME DOTS!
PACKAGing
The message is as good as the wrapper it’s sent in. Probably better but no one will know if your package is ignored. Wise to have good optics just so visitors will make stopovers even if just curious; and stay once they are in. First impression matters. Like it or not!
CREATIVE DNA
To achieve that wholesome, committed, no-stone-unturned value proposition here, is to literally read the buyer’s intent with astounding accuracy! Takes a bucket full of creativity working within whatever limits abound. So yes, some nip and tuck helps.
JUICE UP
Visitor retention is key. Some interactive bells and whistles to capture attention and funnel potential leads with smart ‘Call-to-Action’ placements help. Pop-up forms on-Click, on Exit, plus social media links and a Live Chat plugin won’t hurt.
JUICE UP for Success!
FLOW CONTROL
Flow Control is a lesser known albeit very significant aspect of a well-managed site. Hiring us works but intimately knowing who should do what from First Response to Hand Shake may be critical in landing and retaining the client.
Think FLOW CONTROL.
ALL THIS SOUNDS GREAT!
which begs the question …
WHY CHOOSE US?
Been there, done that helps. But there’s no substitute for creativity – it sets us apart. Times change, things change, people change. We need to have a finger on the pulse, be in touch with trends, keep up with society yet be fully aware of the whys and wherefores, stay focused and master what dictates buyer intent, what drives moods and most of all, be flexible. You get the drift. We got it and then some.
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to provide premium services to a broad array of clients notably in the property, art, health and entertainment sectors, each with it’s own market nuances and target clientele. One thing they all have in common is a desire to have an online presence that not only looks nice but is optimally functional and user-friendly. We added web management to complete the task. Websites often fade into oblivion for want of good administration at the backend. Make sure you tick the right boxes!
