WEBSITE MAINTENANCE SIR BANI YAS

Sir Bani Yas buyers move between Arabic and English without thinking — a search typed in Arabic, a website read in English, a proposal discussed in both. We would rather do fewer things properly than hand over a long list of half-finished tasks. The scope for Sir Bani Yas is agreed in order of impact, then worked through in that order. Mainland firms and free-zone firms — ADGM, KIZAD or Masdar City Free Zone being the local example — face different rules on trading, invoicing and office requirements.

• Core, theme and plugin updates: backup first, applied in a safe order, key pages checked after
• Security monitoring: malware scanning, login protection and prompt action on alerts
• Regular off-site backups of files: and database with tested restoration
• Uptime monitoring with alerts, often: before you or your customers notice downtime
• Speed and Core Web Vitals care: caching, image optimisation and bloat control
• Content updates on request: text, images, prices, seasonal banners — in Arabic and English
• Form and checkout testing so: enquiries and orders keep arriving
• SSL, domain and hosting housekeeping,: including the renewals that are easy to miss
• Pre-peak health checks before Ramadan,: White Friday and local trading peaks
• Monthly plain-language summary of what: was updated, fixed and checked

The eco-tourism and luxury resorts businesses that dominate Sir Bani Yas do their due diligence the same way: they check your website on their phones, skim your reviews, and message three or four suppliers before they've finished their morning coffee. A step only counts as done when it has been checked: against the data, against the original brief, and against what a Sir Bani Yas customer would actually experience. That verification standard is the same one we would want applied to us.

• : Software versions, security, backups, speed, hosting and certificates reviewed; findings in writing.

• : Backups, uptime checks and security scanning put in place and tested.
• : Updates and checks on a regular schedule, timed around your Sir Bani Yas trading hours and peak seasons.
