Emily Journey & Associates is an American website maintenance company. Our team of website managers and WordPress experts lives and works in the USA, offering web maintenance services in Phoenix and other locations in the United States. As WordPress instructors and developers, we work with you to set up your strategic website maintenance plan.
We talk with business leaders from diverse industries about their website problems and goals every day. When a new client shows up on our doorstep, they’ve often been put through the wringer by their most recent website maintenance service provider.
A surprising number of people feel held hostage by their website manager, who fell off the face of the earth soon after launching the website.
“I’ll go ahead and say it. Poor communication and lack of professionalism are serious problems in my industry.”

Phoenix website maintenance services
As a business manager, you don't have the time, resources, or knowledge base to devote to your own website maintenance. Or maybe you do, but you'd rather spend your resources directly on product development, relationship building, or whatever it is that makes your company tick.
In addition to our work in website maintenance, we serve as website instructors and advisors. We meet people all the time who decide to take back the reins of their company website by learning WordPress. All too often, that decision is fueled by negative experiences with website managers.
Too many website maintenance service agencies are thrilled to take your business, but when it comes to fulfilling their promises, they just don’t show up.
- They don't listen to you.
- They don’t get back to you.
- They don't know what you need, so they can't give it to you.
Eventually, you come to realize: it's time to get out of this relationship.

Long-Term, Reliable Website Support
“I’ve been working with Emily Journey & Associates for about six years now. As the business grew, the time we were able to personally dedicate to management of the website became limited. Emily and her team stepped in to manage all aspects of the website. They’ve done so ever since and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.
I always trust that the website is in very good hands. Emily and her staff are accessible, knowledgeable, friendly and highly responsive. Year after year, they’ve continued to exceed our expectations. I highly recommend their services.”
How to tell when your website maintenance company is adding value
Hiring a website maintenance company can be a costly proposition if you make the wrong choice. In fact, we've heard some terrible stories about unprofessional website agencies. But, when you hire an experienced professional to help you with your website, you can get an excellent return on your investment.
The first step in finding the right website maintenance company for your needs is to understand what you need them for. Do you just need someone to edit a few things here and there? Or, do you want the benefit of consultative support and website strategy advice? If you want ongoing support, you may find that a monthly website maintenance subscription model works better for you than paying by the hour. If you're unsure of the type of website support you need, then you are not alone.
The best WordPress website managers share the following four characteristics:
1. They are great communicators
The best website managers are great communicators. Communication is a two-way street. You want to work with someone who can speak AND listen: someone who not only hears what your website maintenance needs are, but who can translate them into actionable steps and keep you informed about progress.
You should never be left to wonder what your website or content manager is up to. If she drops off the planet for weeks at a time, you’re wasting valuable time and money trying to keep track of a lost cause.
2. They under-promise and over-deliver
When it comes to website support, the old adage is true. If it sounds too good to be true…
This can be a hard line to walk, especially if you’re relatively new to working with web agencies. You want to work with an ambitious team with big ideas, but you don’t want to be paying month after month for promises that never materialize.
Don't even get me started on so-called SEO services that produce zero results!
At EJ&A, we make a point of under-promising, especially when it comes to timelines and turnaround times. We can't always accurately predict how long a project will take so we're conservative in our time estimates. As a result, it's a pleasant surprise when we can accomplish tasks ahead of schedule.
3. They empower their clients
It’s unethical for your web manager to restrict your access to your own website. At the beginning of your working relationship, make sure it’s clear that you will register your own domain name and expect top-level access to your hosting account and WordPress dashboard.
It’s simple: your site is yours. If your website manager, designer, or content manager won’t give you access, don’t work with them!
4. They work efficiently
I can’t count the number of times clients have approached me feeling utterly defeated by an unresponsive, almost comically slow web developer. The key word, though, is almost. It’s never funny when your website goes offline, or your registration form breaks on the last day of sign-ups for your webinar.
An experienced WordPress expert knows how to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, manage projects, and solve problems quickly.
What else can you do with a Website maintenance plan?
1. Improve the look of your site
Your website is an important part of your business, but it’s not the only thing that matters. You need a strong brand identity, which means having a visual style that represents who you are and what you do. If you don’t have one yet, we can create a logo or design your entire site from scratch. We also make sure that your site looks great on all devices so customers can find you no matter where they go.
2. Create content that converts visitors into leads
If you want people to visit your site, then you need to provide them with something interesting to read. But if you just throw up any old blog post, chances are it won’t convert well. That’s why our team works closely with you to create high-quality content that attracts readers and encourages them to take action. Whether you need fresh blog posts written, social media updates created, or video scripts produced, we’ll work with you to ensure that your content gets seen by your target audience.
3. Grow your email list and build relationships
Email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to reach potential clients and customers. However, many small businesses fall short when it comes to their email strategy because they don’t know what to say in their email or don’t have enough contacts to send them. Our team has years of experience creating engaging newsletters and other types of email communications that grow your list and keep your customers coming back for more.
4. Drive the right traffic to your site
A website is no good if no one is looking at it. Our WordPress maintenance services in Seattle can also help you build a loyal audience. Ongoing SEO services and GEO services can attract the right people to your website and make it a valuable lead generator for your business.
Our team has knowledgeable SEO experts and specialists who can listen to your goals and create a strategic roadmap to get you to your destination.
