How to easily update your own website?

Very often a designer/agency may come across a query from their clients, ‘How Can I Update My Own

Website’? And the designers give explanations which leave the clients clueless even after knowing a lot

of things. Hoping that, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision after reading this.

First, make a note of what changes or updates do you wish to be able to perform in the website. Will it

be only editing of a few things here and there or it’ll be a frequent job. Instead of spending time, doing

all by yourself, it’s better to hire a website designing company for easing out things. Also, be honest

with yourself about your own level of expertise and take the right decision.

Secondly, you need to understand the feasibility of updating a website. How much time and money does

it involve in updating the website? If your business is dependant only on your website it will not be a

good idea to get the website updated from a third party agency unless it is a professional website

designing company.

After understanding your goals and the options available, you can decide whether you are ready to

spend some big bucks and set up a Content Management System. .” A little education helps alleviate

the potential for problems or surprises down the road.

Think About’s: Before you invest in a Content Management System (CMS)

1. Updating the website through a CMS is not an easy task too. Give it a thought whether you have a

web savvy person who can update your website. Does he know the basics of web designing?

2. You need to dedicate an employee to do the task since it involves time and training to do the same.

Do they pick up instructions quickly? What may take you an hour or more to do will probably take your

web designer just a few minutes to accomplish.

3. Do you have proper text updating, photo resizing and optimization software? Usually these software’s

cost you a bomb. Also, consider the able to use them and coordinate their use with the web site work

you’ll be doing.

4. You need to understand that if there is a sudden breakdown will your person be able to handle it. If it

is from the server side, the website might go up in sometime. But, you come to know that inadvertently

break your website. It might happen that fixing a broken site ended up to be more costly than if you’d

had your designer do it. Some designers charge an additional fee for fixing a broken web site or for a

rush job fees if you need it done in a hurry.

5. Does the user know how to write content properly in order to obtain or retain the best search engine

results? If not, are you willing to pay the costs and spend the time to learn?

Content Management System’s have their own set of limitations. Not the whole of the website can be

customized. It depends on the Web Designing Company and also what features you ask for. If a designer

spends eight hours to figure out a problem, no doubt, a Non-Techy person will take ages to complete

the task. CMS can provide a host of features which comes with high costs attached to it.
