Most firms now boast a web set on the Internet, but how many know how to take control of it for themselves?
Often small firms with no IT department are content to leave the maintenance of their site in the hands of the company that designed it and probably hosts it. But this usually means they have to pay extra every time they want to update the information on display - or worse still they don't bother revising what's on show from one year to the next.
As many web designers make a good living from the proceeds of site maintenance, the mystic is created that you have to be something of a Internet techy to make changes to your own website yourself. Alternatively, a premium running into thousands of pounds is sometimes charged if you insist on a website you can update yourself.
But according to web site designer Simon Donnelly of Cheshire based e-kineticsuk.com, there is no reason why a small firm or an individual should not be able to make changes to their website themselves. "All our hosted sites are available with database driven content. This mean you can alter the content on your site yourself, add extra pages yourself, and reduce your site maintenance costs."
Any complex changes may need the attention of a web site specialist, but simple amendments like price alterations, new product s or news updates can easily be changed.
