What is a website maintenance contract?
Once your website has been created and delivered to its host, it is accessible to the general public.
It is freely accessible and open to visitors:
- your prospects,
- your customers
- other visitors.
It can also be explored by hackers.
There are many aspects of your site that need to be maintained:
- preventive: security updates for your CMS,
- curative: the correction of anomalies,
- evolutionary: the development of new functionalities.
For its part, the Drupal contribution works to secure the core of the Drupal CMS.
Preventive maintenance
Regularly throughout the year, security updates are required for the Drupal core and contributing modules. These security updates also include the latest functional and technical corrections made to the modules.
Your website maintenance contract necessarily involves preventing security risks to your site, through regular security updates. The security updates of your website contain the latest versions of the Drupal core as well as those of the Drupal contribution modules. Regularly updating the Drupal core and modules also enables you toanticipate migrations to major versions: from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9, from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10...
Curative maintenance
It's a good idea to include a corrective maintenance component in your maintenance contract, in order to correct functional and technical anomalies in the short term. Including this budget in the contract enables you to have your Drupal service provider estimate, plan and intervene as early as possible.
Development of evolutions
The development of small upgrades can also be part of an annual contract, depending on the budget and estimates.
The benefits of a maintenance contract
With a maintenance contract, you're in control of your website's budget, and gain in responsiveness.
Controlling your budget
The length of the contract and its amount are calculated according to your budget. It includes:
- Drupal security updates on a flat-rate basis,
- time-based corrections of anomalies.
On a regular basis, you will receive a detailed statement of dates and interventions. It can be revised during the year if necessary, depending on site requirements.
Responsive interventions
Each time you need a correction or update, the administrative part is simplified by the presence of a contract: no need for a new estimate. You save time looking for a new Drupal service provider, because you already have a contract with your service provider, who will schedule the intervention.
