Hello
I was just wondering how often people work on their own hosting site.
I have been working on mine lately to try improve a few things.

Do you change the content on your site often?Or do you just leave the pages and content the same most of the time, and the same since your design.

Do you add specials on your site?
If you do, how often do you change them?Do you have it on all pages or just the one?

Do you ever change the content of your site just to improve the keywords?

Do you update your help files/FAQ very often?Or do you only use scripts for your help?

Does anyone keep on a design to do work on their site a lot?

And lastly, do you visit your own hosting site very often?I dont mean the support area/forum etc. but they main site itself

When you feel that something needs added, or changed...that's a good time to make the changes.

Since putting the site up, and running amateur usability tests with friends and staffers, there have been:

* tweaks to the design
* tweaks to the ordering process
* additions to the support section (that gets near-constant upgrades, I'd say one new tutorial a month plus the client newsletter published there every six months)

When new services are added, or other changes are required, the site gets changed as needed. Other than that, though, I don't really tinker with the site, and neither do any of the other folks.

I don't visit the site incredibly often, but I try and move through the site to get a client's-eye view every few months or so - just to see if there is anything that could be done better.

I always worked on my web hosting website when being a webhost. No major changes though - once the design was ok, I only added content or improved functionality.

I haven't worked on my site for a little bit, Anjay from Acsiak is redesigning my site, he's a good guy and has done nice work before so now I am waiting for a new layout from him

Well, my site is coded in PHP, so I usally add code or news. So about once a week or every other week.
But currently I'm working on a custom 'flat file' CMS for the entire site. So i can update more often.

I hardly ever work on my site, I suppose I should really but once I got it setup i just update the support and special offer sections really.
Most things on a host site is static content anyway
