Maintenance Plans
Web sites are one of the most effective ways to keep your customers informed about your program's activities. Keeping your site current and of high quality is an important public service, as outlined by the Federal Web Content Managers Advisory Council. It is also a requirement of the EERE Web site policy that each Web site file a maintenance plan before going live. By submitting a plan, the Web site manager makes a commitment to ensuring the quality of their program's Web site content.
Requirements
When you submit a site to the EERE Web Manager for review, also submit your charter and maintenance plan. A maintenance plan will help you schedule the important tasks to maintain the site in the future.
There are two types of tasks to consider in your maintenance plan: content-related maintenance and technical maintenance. Use the sample below as a starting point for your own maintenance plan for your site. The sample can be modified to suit the maintenance activities that your site requires.
