Hosting with a face attached
When your website has a problem, the last thing you want is a chat window with someone reading from a script. With FWS, you call us. We know your site because he looks after it, and if it’s easier to explain in person, we can meet at your business or somewhere in town.
It also means the person answering already knows the history. When you call about a broken form or a strange error, you don’t have to explain your whole setup from scratch. We know what your site runs on, when it was last updated, and what changed recently.
That’s the main reason Auburn businesses, churches, and organizations host with us. The technical side matters too, but most people just want someone they can reach.
FWS has been at this for about four years and looks after hundreds of websites, from local shops to townships and national sports teams. Auburn clients get the same care, just with a shorter drive when we need to meet.
What’s looked after for you
Your site lives on fast servers we manage. It’s backed up every day. Software and plugins are updated, and every change is written down in a log. Monitoring watches for downtime and security problems, and if something goes wrong, we find out and start fixing it before you have to notice. When you need a small change, like new hours, a photo, or a staff update, send it and we’ll take care of it.
The change log means that if you ever wonder what was updated and when, the answer is written down. And because we keep daily backups, a mistake, a bad update, or a compromised plugin doesn’t mean starting over. We restore the last good copy and get you back online.
For township offices and public documents
Local government offices, schools, and churches often publish minutes, agendas, and forms that need to be accessible. If your site is ADA-compliant and your PDFs are remediated through our partner ADAComply, the finished documents are posted to your website automatically. You never have to leave your dashboard. Our PDF remediation page explains the process, and our overview of ADA compliance covers current requirements.
For a township clerk or a church secretary, that removes a recurring chore. Documents go out for remediation, come back accessible, and appear on the website without anyone needing to remember a login or figure out where the file belongs.
Bringing an existing site home
If your website is hosted somewhere else and you’re not happy, or you’re not sure who’s responsible for it anymore, we can review it and move it to our servers. If it needs more than hosting, we’ll say so, and our Auburn web design work can take it from there. You can also see the full list of what’s included in our hosting and care plans.
Moving a site to us usually takes less effort on your end than people expect. We need access to your current host or the person who manages it, and we handle the rest: copying the site, checking it on our servers, and switching it over with your email left intact.
Once it’s here, the site is simply looked after. No surprise invoices for small fixes, and no guessing who to call.
