What are you looking for?
Update Service
You need: to be able to easily and quickly get your site updated when things change, and/or to keep it fresh and interesting.
Google likes websites that are regularly changed, kept up to date and have new content added. Your visitors will like that too.
Which represents you?
- DIY plus help – You make simple changes yourself but need someone to support you with the harder stuff
- Not your scene – You are either too busy doing what you do to have time to make the changes, or you don’t know how to do it, or don’t want to know
- Your developer not good at support – Many developers are not so good at providing support for changes. They take too long to do it, charge too much, or simply don’t offer it as a service
GTB constantly handles many work requests in our world-class ticketing system. We’re very happy to give you the support you want, and we can do it seamlessly. It comes in, it gets allocated, it gets done, it gets billed.
We can either work alongside your developer, or we can take over support and do it for you when you want it. Your choice.
Save them up for a big change or keep the site right up to date by making regular minor changes. Whatever suits you best.
Security and Housekeeping
You need: a website which is kept safe and secure.
What you don’t want is the website equivalent of a sign saying “kick me” taped to your back. Yet, this is what many sites are like.
Hackers and criminals are looking for easy access, because it is usually more profitable. This means they are looking for sites which have out of date security or software modules or have ‘attack surfaces’ due to poor internal maintenance and tidying after changes are made.
GTB has packages of services that cater to the needs of the website you have and your risk profile. This includes regular security updates, plugin and module updates and re-licensing, housekeeping to keep the site tidy and minimise opportunities for attack.

Domain Management
You need: your valuable Domain(s) to be kept safe and secure.
Your Domain is your Internet address and you are relying on it more and more. Frankly, you need to take care or it (or them). You need them to be managed by someone who is always there, doesn’t disappear on you, does what you say, and knows what the technical aspects are.
Which represents you?
- Need new Domain – Looking to setup a company or website and need people to get your Domain(s) and then securely look after them for you
- Need safety – You’ve got a Domain and you realise its importance and just want someone trustworthy who will be around for the long-haul to manage it for you
- Historical blur – You’ve got Domains, but you don’t have the details and/or the person who set them up for you has gone, is uncontactable or unfriendly
- Independent custody – You’ve got a Domain and you want it to be looked after by someone other than the current person who is doing so. Perhaps you don’t want this person or company to have the power over you when it comes to future decisions you might make about the Domain. For example, it is held by your web developer and you know one day you might want to choose a different developer
At GTB we promise you this – we will look after your Domain professionally, registering you as the owner not us, ensuring it is secure, maintaining its details in our secure system, and making changes to technical settings only when you authorize it. If, one day, you instruct us to relinquish control of it, then we will do so professionally and promptly.
We have been here for over 20 years, and we’re not going anywhere soon.

Analytics
You need: to know how your website is performing
Ok, the best way to know how your website is performing is by how many web form enquiries you get, or how many times the phone rings and when you ask ‘how did you hear about us?’ they tell you they found you online. Or, it’s about how many customers tell you they found the website to be useful.
But there’s another level too – how many visitors is your site getting? What pages are they going to? When did the people visit your site; was it just after you ran that big ad? Even at a simple level, keeping an eye on how many people visit your site, when, and which pages they went to gives you critical data to help you know whether your marketing is working.
A standard part of our website build is to setup and turn on Google Analytics.
From there, GTB offers a template based interactive monthly report on the key aspects of your website – how many people are visiting, the top pages visited, etc.
If you want more than this, then we can custom build an analytics report to your requirements. Or, we can give you access to Analytics and you can do it yourself.
