It's smooth sailing for now on. All you have to do is sit back
and nit-pick at the site when they want you to. This phase takes up the rest of the Web Site
Development Life Cycle and ends with the request for a new site.
Site Documentation
Making and maintaining accurate documentation about the web site
is a large part of site maintenance. Documentation gives the site's owners something to consult
when you're not there. It also serves as a reference guide for you to use when planning changes
or additions.
It should consist of the company's basic information along
with web site goals, target audience, samples, resources, and general information. It should
also include design notes, samples and layout specifications you made in the first and second
phases.
Search Engine Rank Managing
You'll have to regularly resubmit the site to search engines due to
other sites pushing it out of rank. Basically you'll have to manage the
site's rank. Some of the search engine submitters have rank managers built in to them as well as
<META> tag optimizers that can edit the site's web pages. You can find some
them in our Web Promotion Tools section.
Site Changes & Additions
Throughout the course of the site's existence, you'll probably
be asked to change and make additions to it as it grows. Make sure to record any changes or additions
to the site in the documentation just in case someone else must maintain the site.
Also keep up-to-date backups in case the server crashes or some unseen hacker breaks in and ruins
the site. It always pays to be prepared.
