There is a common misconception in the industry about website maintenance fees. When customers buy a website, they have this wrong expectation that it will work flawlessly forever.

It won’t.

Your computer and your website are very much like cars. They both need maintenance to keep running smoothly.

When your computer starts running worse, gets viruses, or can’t run the most modern programs at an adequate speed, you feel like it’s time to run some maintenance tasks on it, usually by a tech-savvy person/company.

When your car is acting strange, moving slower, making loud noises, you take it to a mechanic.

Both of those services aren’t free. They are taken care of by trained professionals who charge hourly rates.

When your site is acting weird, or not acting at all, you talk with your web design agency. Depending on the warranty period you have in your contract with them, and presuming you do, they have to run some tasks to detect the source of the problem.

Why do websites break down?

At Navega Bem we always ensure that our websites are as secure as we know how to make them when they reach the public. But they don’t stay secure forever.

Like a brand new computer, and a brand new car, without proper maintenance they will both slowly gain new problems. In the case of your car, you’ll have to replace some parts. In the case of your computer, you might have to replace some parts, or fix your system.

When it comes to a website problem. The problems are usually related to one of these two things:

1. Security Exploits on the site’s software
2. Hosting with outdated server software

Most modern websites that we build run on Content Management Systems. Those systems depend on specific type of software that runs in the webhost. Hackers, and other people with malicious intentions often discover vulnerabilities in software, both for computers and websites, and will attempt to take advantage of the said vulnerabilities for as many sites as they can.

The only way to prevent this is by keeping both your hosting server’s software, and your site’s software updated. You are not responsible for your hosting server’s software, neither is your web design agency. The only thing the agency can do is verify if the software is relatively up-to-date and communicate that to you.

If your site was simply hacked, and taken down, your web agency may be able to restore it, and update if they need to have a recent backup of your site – If you want to maintain your website and computer  files healthy you need to make regular backups.

It is likely, though not certain, that your agency has an old version of your site with outdated content, but only your webhost is responsible for making backups of your site. And they usually charge for the retrieval of a backup.

If your site’s software is outdated, the agency will download the most recent version and update to the most recent and secure one.

So whose fault is it when it breaks down?

No one’s in particular. No one can predict how soon or late your site might become compromised. The companies that maintain the software can only keep it secure after a few sites become compromised, yours can be one of the first, or one of the last.

It’s your web design agency’s duty to give you a secure product when they deliver it to you.

It’s your web hosting’s company duty to insure that your site is backed up regularly, runs smoothly, and runs on updated software.

It’s your responsibility to insure that someone maintains your site’s software updated, and let you know if your webhost is keeping up with their end of the deal.

Have you noticed the new big thing with the big boys and girls from Joomla!?

Have you seen that fruit growing and glowing on most everyone’s podium?

Have you glanced behind you at a Joomla! conference and seen them staring at you?

Have you checked out the photos from the Joomla! meets and seen them lying smugly under the pro’s fingertips?

When I visited Joomla!Day Germany (packing my new MacBook Pro to casually show off to everyone) – they were already there. Dozens of them!
The event registration was being done with one – they were all over the place. I was so shocked I didn’t even take mine out of its carrying bag until the next day.

‘Fast reverse’ a couple of years – not many people had Macs. Sure, most of the designers and the occasional programmer had one. I’ve been using Macs since 1990, but I’ve always been a little odd. But most programmers sneared at Macs and dressed them down to be the computers for those people that knew nothing about computers. Perhaps they were right.

‘Fast forward’ to today and show me a good programmer that doesn’t swear by his Mac. (It’s a good job none of you know where I live – me thinks)
Truly, I am amazed by this overwhelming upsurge in Mac ownership and totally gobsmacked that some of the best programmers in the business will tell you out straight that they do all their work on a Mac. (Yes, we all test our work on windows).

Which brings me to Eddie. My trustee programmer has long laughed in my face when confronted with my persistent ‘buy a mac’ prodding. Eddie is a brilliant programmer and really knows his stuff (but alas not his computers LOL). I was having a conversation with Johan Janssens 2 weeks ago and Eddie stood next to us soaking up the wisdom. I thought this was a chance not to be missed and asked Johan what computer he uses. He looked at me as though I had asked him if he had ever heard of Joomla!

“Mac” he replied.

Eddie has every intention of getting his new Mac as soon as possible.

A few months ago, many organizations and web design companies let go of their emotions and made official statements that they would stop supporting IE6. We of course have also had our share of problems with Internet Explorer 6 because we tried to provide the same level of support across all browsers, and that simply doesn’t make any sense.

Asking Internet Explorer 6 to display websites as well as the Firefox or Safari browser is ridiculous. It’s like trying to make a Ford T be as efficient as a modern car.

You can still “drive” Internet Explorer on modern websites, like you can drive a Ford T in our modern roads, and, for the most part, the internet and most of it’s services will still be accessible to you. What you are missing out on is:

• Speed – if you upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 to any modern browser the websites will become much faster!
• Security – most modern browsers are more secure, allow you to browse anonymously and websites that have secure connections (like your bank’s website) have more detailed information about their respective licenses. In sum, it all adds up to a more secure browsing experience.
• Modern Interface – Do you ever get tired closing pop-up windows? And ridiculous numbers of separate Internet Explorer windows that clutter your desktop? Well, with any modern browser, you get pop-up blockers, and browser tabs, which allow you to have multiple websites open all in the same browser window.
• Better looking Websites – Sometimes our customers ask us why certain websites look better in certain browsers. The answer is simple. When web designers and developers build websites, we do so thinking not of the older versions of them, but of the most recent ones. With Internet Explorer you can’t have translucent PNGs, JavaScript (the technology that makes websites interactive) is much slower and you can’t have CSS3 visual improvements, like shadows or rounded corners (unless we limit your website’s layout, or create horrible markup/code which in turn makes the website even slower)

If you compare those things with the Ford T, you’ll see that the same has happened with the car industry. It’s only natural for companies that build websites to want to make them as lean and efficient as possible, sometimes Internet Explorer prevents that.

Disclaimer: Although some web browsers might make some websites look better, car manufacturers on the other hand are still researching ways for a car to make the roads look nicer

Navega Bem will always insure that our websites take advantage of the best techniques each website can use. So when we say we’re dropping IE6, we’re not saying that we  will stop caring about it and IE6 users. But we are simply going to stop trying to make it perform as well as all the other modern browsers, and let it work as it should and support only what it was made to support.
