Hosting and care · Pickering

Someone still
looking after it.

99 business websites in Pickering still show a copyright line five years old or more. Almost none of those owners decided to let the site rot — the person who built it moved on and there was nobody left to ask for a change.

We did not sample Pickering — all 1,362 listings were checked, and each fault was counted on the page itself rather than estimated from a tool.

What the monthly fee is actually for

Hosting, the domain, the certificate, edits whenever you need them, your Google listing and ongoing search work. Not a maintenance plan on top of a separate SEO retainer on top of hosting — that arrangement is how three companies end up not quite talking to each other about one website.

Measurement first

435 of the 892 sites we opened in Pickering have no analytics at all, which means their owners cannot tell whether anything they do works. That goes in before the work, not after.

What counts as an edit

Text, prices, photographs, a new service, a seasonal notice, a page for a new location. If it takes under an hour it is included, and most things do.
