Describe what
“Delivered” Means
‘Delivered’ can mean
different to various parties. There are developers that define
delivered to install and working on designated web servers while
other means to consider delivery that offering access details of
downloading a copy of new site. One can have to upload to a web
server and configure it by your own from there. No one is correct as
both have equal importance in accordance to your requirements.

test their site in their own environment, can upload enough products
or custom design and they don’t find any problem in uploading site
then simply click on the downloading link. Moreover, if you are
providing confirmation that your site is not working well on the web
server then ensure to check pages and links along with contact form

Identify That Only the
Latest CMS Version Is To Be Used
We have seen such type of
issue many times that a site is delivered by using an out of date
version of the CMS like Joomla!, Drupal and WordPress. The content
management system requires updating with the latest features along
with the latest security updates. Additionally, you have to ensure to
get your site developed with the latest versions of the CMS and
updated plug-ins or extensions.

is for Updates

that your CMS must be updated and you have to know who’s
responsible for updating. There are some Open Source CMS Solution
providers offering support for site regarding functionality or
updating minor details like changing contact information. It is not
reasonable to expect from your developer about managing site after
launch until your post delivery support agreement like site updates.

search out a hosting company for enjoying a managed service, where
you can easily access your site’s update as the part for their
package. It is an excellent option for that company, who want to host
and manage in the same location.

your site before launch, you are running your business without
insurance. When it comes to the website, you have to backup often an
addendum. Sometime, a small event like system’s crash can destroy
your site and your money is gone.

easier as we are thinking. The major CMS has to use backup tool that
can be configured and installed in the small period of time. It is
advisable to talk to your developer about back up setting that they
can do for a small fee or even for free of cost.

redevelopment and such site is hosted through which can have
positives and negatives points. There are many criteria needs hosting

elements of support as they don’t require help and want to pass on
the savings.
Getting A Site Built
Or Redeveloped Can Be A Big Undertaking
One of the simplest rules
applied on the business is to get rid of site build. It would be
great to do your own research and ensure to be clear of what is an
important for you. It would be great to create a relationship of
honest and clear communication so you and developers can work with a
common shared goal.
