How to update the website?

A few years ago you spent a lot of money on your website but now it’s time to make some changes. You may think it’s a difficult job, however, it’s not. In this article I’d like to go through the updating process step by step so that you can do it yourself. The owners of static websites will find this information especially useful. Talking about static websites we refer to the websites which are not database driven. You might be confused with the term “static”. Do you know what type of a website you own? Well, here is the thing. If your website has got over 50 pages, there’s a big chance that your site is database driven. However, the only way to find out for sure is to contact your web designer and ask directly.

The next step is to clarify what programming language was used to build your website. You might have thought that it’s only the knowledge of HTML that is required to design a project. But actually it’s not quite true. The answer would be “yes” and “no”. Yes, definitely, there are numerous websites that are fully constructed with HTML, but at the same time a lot of present-day websites are built with a mix of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, sometimes PHP or ASP. If you need to determine what programming language has been used to build your website, just click the random link on the website and take a look at the file extension. Your link will end on one of the following extensions such as “.html”, .“asp”, .“php” etc.

Well, now with the understanding of basic fundamentals we are ready to come back to the main topic. To update or expand a static website you will need to master some tools. And here are the main two tools required to successfully perform this process: 1) HTML editor; there are quite a few html editors available on the Internet for free. However, I would recommend to go for professional tools. You can always download a 30 day free trial to update the site; 2) FTP program is another required tool. This tool is needed to be able to establish a connection with a remote server to modify the data. You can find these tools on the Internet or even go on downloads.com and download them from there.

However, if you rather would like professionals to take care of the website updates, we would be happy to help you. You will forget about all worries with the professional help of experts. Just contact us and we will take care of everything for you.
