The Importance of Website Maintenance

 In our ever growing website mintaince technological world, the key to keeping in touch with your customers and partners is through the use of a website. A company website can provide a host of benefits when it comes to notifying your customers of what your company does, what it sells, where it's located, and how to get in touch with someone when a question arises.


Depending on your actual business, a website may also have promotional items or announcements about current sales and pricing for your items. It can even be used to connect your company's employees with one another while out of town for business or help those working outside of the company complete tasks that are assigned.


Websites are still one of the most popular and often required facets of doing business online and it's because of this that website maintenance is an incredibly important task when it comes to getting and keeping those potential partners, investors, and customers to your store or business. What is maintenance and why is it so important?


Maintaining a website in many cases means to keep it updated when something new occurs - such as opening a new location or adding a new line of products. For many on the Internet, a website is the first thing they will know about a company, often deriving several opinions about the company just on how the website is done and looks. If a website hasn't been updated in months or years, despite the business changing, viewers will think the company doesn't care about their customers online if they can't be bothered to keep them updated on changes. It also may come across that the company doesn't even care about itself.


Updates are extremely important to those businesses that have an ever changing listing of items, such as clothing or food. Price changes, item changes, additions, and sales are the types of things that should be updated whenever they happen; in many cases, consumers learn about sales and other promotions through a company's website or that of their social network affiliation.


Maintaining a website doesn't mean to just update any products or information. While items on the site are an important part of attracting clientele, making sure that those items are displayed correctly and that they go to their exact description is also key. Broken links or ones that don't go anywhere are a constant plague to those trying to find something on your website.


Making sure links are correct, as well as making sure that users can find their way around the site is about of website development, that is the process of getting a website together. The development process can also help with maintenance, as creating the website with an ease of both updating and that of helping the user find what they are looking for goes along way when it comes to ensuring that your company's website is more dynamic and not static.

From The House of the Dead by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 Fyodor Dostoyevsky's From The House of the Dead is not a novel, though its principal character, its narrator, the upper-class Goryanchikov , is probably the author, himself, masquerading. We do not know if the other inmates of the prison camp where the book is set are faithful descriptions of real people, but they certainly come across as such. If there is anything that lingers after reading this book, then it is the immediacy of its realism. Dostoevsky spent years in such a camp, in Siberia, of course, after surviving his own execution via a last minute reprieve which arrived, apparently, as his executioners as were ready to take aim. It was a bit of a wheeze and quite often used by the Russian royals and their system. Perhaps they were always late in the signing of such orders, since they were probably preoccupied with the counting of their serfs' earnings, or should I say the earnings from the serfs. One has to be careful to look after the welfare of one's subjects, af...
