When you’re a small business, the last thing you want is for your Web Designer to pull a Houdini and disappear leaving you with no way to access your current site. Sadly, this happens all too often. But you can keep avoid this stressful fate by following this terrific advice from my Web developer Anita Wong at http://www.wsdnw.com… “If you haven't heard from your web designer in a while, even if you don't have any changes to make to your site, check to see if he/she is still around to help should you need it. As a safeguard, you can ask your designer to provide you the access codes for your website servers and just keep it on file in a safe place. You should know where your domain name is registered, where your files are being hosted, and have the login and password access to both locations. Even if you don't know what to do with the information, if you ever need to change designers, your new designer will surely appreciate that you have it.” Have you ever experienced the disappearing Web designer nightmare?
