Can a VA help with my website?

Absolutely. Many virtual assistants specialize in website support, the practical, everyday tasks that keep your site running smoothly without needing a full developer.

Website Support VAs can assist with:

  • Updating pages, formatting content, and fixing small layout issues
  • Uploading blog posts, products, and images
  • Organizing your menus and improving navigation
  • Optimizing images and alt text for SEO
  • Connecting forms, links, and simple integrations
  • Improving clarity, consistency, and user experience

This is ideal if your site is mostly okay but needs steady improvements, clean-up, or someone who can keep everything running without you spiraling into tech frustration.
