Magento Website Maintenance

All Magento websites, no matter how advanced or well-built, require ongoing maintenance. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for website maintenance to get overlooked once they have been launched, and it’s easy to see why a lot of people would presume that everything will continue to work as intended simply because it currently is. Sadly, this isn’t the case but the good news is that a properly maintained website doesn’t stand still either.

When it comes to Magento Website Maintenance, you’re not simply ensuring a website is in as good a condition as it was on the day it was launched; you’re ensuring it’s in even better condition. This isn’t hyperbole, we’re deadly serious. Even without any significant development work having been carried out, a properly maintained Magento website will be in better condition a year from now than it is today.

We’ll explain why below, but feel free to get in touch now if you’d rather we explained in person…

Ok, so Magento Website Maintenance is about moving a website forward rather than keeping it standing still. This is because the digital landscape isn’t a calm, tranquil vista with no one else around for miles, it’s a hectic infinite-lane motorway with dynamic speed limits. A website that isn’t maintained is stuck in Neutral with the handbrake on while everything else continues to zoom by around it, and eventually something is going to hit it. It might be a glancing blow or it might be a full-on collision, but the hit is inevitable.

Maintaining a website allows it to keep pace with everything else that’s going on around it. More often than not, this means carrying out relatively minor monthly patches, but from time to time bigger updates are required. Major Magento updates don’t come that often, but their size and scope make them more prone to causing disruption.

This is why our Magento Maintenance Service involves more than just actioning updates. We also methodically test the site after each and every upgrade to ensure the website hasn’t been inadvertently affected and to quickly address issues if any have arisen.

Magento Maintenance & Support

Our ongoing Magento Maintenance service guarantees that our clients’ websites are kept fully up to date, thereby ensuring the best possible functionality and security. Our first step when it comes to any new Maintenance agreement is to ensure sites are brought fully up to date as quickly yet considerately as possible, in order to minimise disruption and catch any unforeseen issues that may arise (which is always a risk when you’re running updates).

This initial process can take some time, especially if it has been a while since the site we’re working on was last updated. Once it has been brought up to date, however, staying on top of Magento Maintenance is generally a relatively straight-forward and pain-free process. That is until Adobe releases a major update; then we really have to sing for our supper!

Due to the highly customisable nature of the Magento platform, we tailor all of our Maintenance Programmes to suit the build and intricacies of each site. Our team of Magento developers have years of experience behind them and have seen almost every conceivable thing that could possibly go wrong with a Magento site, which means they also know what to look out for and how to fix it. In short, you can rest assured that the health and wellbeing of your ecommerce platform is in the best possible hands.
