A business website should remain fast, accurate, secure, and easy to use long after launch. Vassal provides ongoing stewardship so important customer paths do not quietly break or become outdated.

## What this work should improve

- A website customers can reliably use
- Current calls, directions, booking, and contact paths
- Owner-requested updates handled within a defined scope
- Clear visibility into site health and customer actions

Maintain the working foundation without asking the owner to become a website administrator.

- SSL, uptime, backup, and security monitoring
- Dependency and software updates
- Broken-link and important-action checks

### Content accuracy

Keep approved public information aligned with how the business currently operates.

- Business-detail updates

- Defined monthly edit allowance

### Conversion stewardship

Review the routes customers use to call, book, request a quote, or find the business.

- Mobile usability checks

- Analytics and Search Console monitoring
- Quarterly conversion-path review

## How the work moves

### 01. Establish the baseline

Confirm ownership, access, current business facts, website health, analytics, and the actions that matter.

### 02. Protect the essentials

Monitor the technical foundation and the customer paths that should always work.

### 03. Keep information current

Process owner-approved updates and correct mismatches before they become customer friction.

### 04. Review what customers do

Use tracked actions to recommend the next practical website improvement.

## Questions business owners ask

### Is website hosting the whole service?

No. Hosting is only infrastructure. Stewardship also covers monitoring, updates, important customer actions, approved content changes, and periodic conversion review.

### Can Vassal maintain a website it did not build?

Often, yes. The first step is a technical and access review to confirm the platform, ownership, condition, and maintainability before accepting responsibility.

### Are unlimited website changes included?

No. Monthly plans define an edit allowance and response expectations. New pages, redesigns, integrations, and larger projects are scoped separately.

### Who owns the website and domain?

The client will retain control of the official domain, website account, analytics, approved assets, and business profiles.
