WEBSITE MAINTENANCE MUSTS


WEBSITE MAINTENANCE MUSTS

It's raining, the climate is so cool…….. The Weekend is nearing and family is with you. What more you want to enjoy two day weekend trip.
Me and my husband decided to go Lonavala, the closest place from Mumbai where you can enjoy your weekend especially during Rainy Season.
After having decided to go to Lonavala, I started googling out for resorts in Lonavala; I found nearly 100 resorts few of which were having their own websites. Went through each of the websites and finally selected one of the resorts.
This resort, claimed to have Go-carting, Water Park in their resort and the location of same is in the midst of nature with no pollution, bla bla bla. The cost of the room was Rs.3500/- per day. Got impressed and done online booking, which was successful. My amount of two days worth Rs.7000/- was debited.

After two hours of booking, I gave a call to this resort to confirm the direction from Lonavala Railway Station. And I was shocked to know that resort was under renovation and it was closed from the last two months. I said, I have visited your website, and my amount is debited to your account. I claimed for my settlement, after struggling a lot, I was finally returned my amount. All this turns our mood off and we dropped a plan to go Lonavala.  During this entire issue, I was on back to them to update their website and mention that it’s under renovation and is close for two months on their website. I spoke to the main vice president of this Resort and requested him to update their website. The VP was saying he was too busy to attend such small issues like web maintenance, I  requested him not to consider this as small issue and it's one of the biggest sources of revenue generation for a resort or hotel. My luck was good on that day, the VP gave his valuable time and listened to me patiently. End of the conversation, he requested for my contact number, date of birth and anniversary which I gave to him.

This happened last year that is in July 2011. As time passed by I forgot this issue and it was totally erased from my mind. This year exactly after one year, I got a call from that resort’s VP and he asked me to have a look on their website. The website was very much up to mark and well maintained. He was praising me a lot and said, “Madam on that day your conversation was an eye opener to me. And I took it all to my heart.  After one year now 60% of my revenue is generated through my website”. And I agree that maintaining a website is Musts. And there was a real surprise pack for me at the end of the conversation that, he offered me two days free stay in his resort with my family.

Friends (Business Owners, Website Owners), what I want to conclude here is, as an end user, I was given wrong information from the website and I end up paying Rs.7000/-.  Such websites don’t go a long way. Websites which are maintained properly can generate your 60% to 70% of the revenue.

A note for all website owners,
Website maintenance is Musts.

By not doing it, you are either loosing your customers or misleading your customers and you end up losing your business.

Do you feel website maintenance is costly?

No, it can be as low as Rs.33/- per day which comes to Rs.1000/- per month.

Just by spending Rs.33/- per day if you are going to get repeated business or new business, I request you to give a thought whether it’s an expense that you are incurring in maintaining the website or it’s an investment on which you are going to get a high Return on investment.

Websites need to stay fresh! Fresh websites get more traffic, don't look old and help you communicate better with your members, clients and potential clients
