Website as a Service
IT Gurus Website as a Service (WaaS) offers an automated website solution
Website as a Service (WaaS)
This subscription-based service provides website design, hosting, security, upgrades, and continuous support for a nominal one-time setup fee and a monthly fee, rather than paying a premium for a traditional website design.
Why Opt for A Website as a Service (WaaS)
One of the primary benefits of WaaS is that the provider will ensure that the website remains current with the rapidly changing technology, such as browser upgrades, Google search updates, and changes
in technological standards (demise of Java, the rise of HTML5, the requirement for an encrypted website using SSL and so on).
You can also get support from one point of contact instead of dealing with multiple vendors or technicians. It’s one less thing to worry about and one less thing to manage.
There are many reasons why opting for a website as a service is beneficial, below are just a few:
Website, browser protections, content, server, including SSL certificates.
Regular testing and updates for ongoing functionality improvements.
The server environment where your website, its files and database lives.
Regular backups and a recovery plan will quickly get you back up if something goes wrong.
Ongoing front-end design updates to keep your site up to date and modern.
Ongoing support to help ensure that the website matches the level of service and quality you provide.
Maintain content and services to ensure everything runs smoothly, and site content is updated.
