Websites do not run on auto-pilot. Discover why out-of-date plugins cause major hacks and how proper maintenance protects your business.
You probably spent good money building your UK business website. Then you let it sit there. Many business owners think a website is a one-time expense. It is not.
A website needs constant care. If you ignore it, it breaks down. It slows down. Worse, hackers find their way in.
WordPress runs heavily on plugins. Developers frequently release updates to fix security holes in these plugins. If you do not update your plugins, hackers use automated bots to scan for these exact holes.
Once a bot finds an outdated plugin, it injects malicious code. Suddenly, your website redirects visitors to spam sites. This destroys your reputation and causes Google to blacklist your domain.
Google hates slow pages. Every month you ignore maintenance, your database fills up with useless data. Image caching breaks. Code gets outdated.
A slow site drives customers away. If your page takes more than three seconds to load, half your visitors will hit the back button. They go straight to your competitors.
True maintenance is more than clicking the update button. We back up your entire database before making changes. We test updates on a staging server. We monitor your uptime every single minute.
You have a business to run. You do not have time to fix a broken database on a Saturday night. Let us handle the technical burden.
We provide website maintenance either ad-hoc at £75 per hour, or on a fixed monthly fee quoted for your site. Contact us today to discuss the right level of cover.
