What updates will your website need once it is published?
There are two types of updates that your website needs in order to remain effective:
Content edits
Maintenance
What are content edits?
Content edits are changes in words, images and if needed, design. As a travel advisor, you understand that it’s important to keep up with changes in the industry and stay on top of trends.
Today, one of the most effective ways to do this is through creating new content for your website. Having current and engaging content helps you to attract the right kind of clients who want to experience the type of travel you want to sell.
Updating the content on your website also has (search engine optimization) SEO benefits. Creating quality, keyword-rich content — such as blog posts, articles, and webpages — is an essential part of any successful SEO strategy. Consistently adding quality content can be effective in helping boost organic traffic and increase discovery on search engines like Google.

How often should your website be improved?
Research shows that first impressions are up to 94% design related. Using attractive and up-to-date web design can help you convey the right message to new site visitors. It reassures them that they’ve found what they’re looking for and reinforces your site’s relevancy, credibility, trustworthiness and uniqueness. As a result, searchers will find it in their interest to stay on your web page.
02.Business reputationAlong the same line as first impressions, your business reputation is extremely important in gaining customers’ trust. Some ways to uphold your online standing include having working links, adding a 404 page for broken ones, updating plugins, freshening up content and abiding to a recommended page load time of under two seconds are just ways to uphold your reputation online. You’ve got to make sure your website delivers on your company promise of quality, reliability and professionalism.
03.SEO strategyPaying attention to website maintenance is essential for your site’s SEO strategy. Consider this an opportunity to establish a routine process of monitoring and improving your website’s SEO, ranging from updating content to fixing broken site links.
These bits of information are what a Googlebot looks out for when it crawls your website. In this initial stage of analysis, Google is determining the value of your website, potentially affecting your ability to rank first page or not down the line. Ranking positively on search engines can help drive traffic to your website, bringing customers to your business. That said, ranking poorly will make it harder for people to find you online.
04.SecurityA website maintenance plan helps protect your business from virtual threats. Regularly updating your security software and renewing your SSL certification provider help safeguard your site’s files. These are made up of sensitive information, such as passwords and customers’ private data — credit card numbers and banking details.
Developers who release these website updates are doing so to patch vulnerabilities they might have found. When you maintain your site’s security, it becomes harder for hackers to compromise your business and easier for customers to entrust their monetary assets to you.

3 steps to update your website
- Sign up and select from 1 or 2 hours of “1:1 designer time”
- Pay your invoice and sign a simple work agreement
- Select a date and time that suits you from the designers availability
- Meet with your designer at the specified time. Your designer will make the edits while you watch – yes… you’ll be learning but won’t have to lift a finger.
The “1:1 designer time” is without a doubt different – and perfect. Eat a snack, enjoy a beverage and simply give a thumbs up if your approval is needed. You can even do a little work to the side. We love that you can see image options and answer questions right on the spot.
As your scheduled time comes near to an end, our designer will let you know when you have 15-minutes left. You can prioritize your last task and if needed, sign up for a new session.
- Any written copy you want to add to your site.
- Your list of tasks. Because any unused time in a session cannot be carried over, try to have a “just in case” task or two.
