Just like your car, your WordPress website needs regular maintenance & protection. We monitor & maintain your website so it is always up & available by doing the following:
For all the sites we build we prefer to host them ourselves as in that way we can look after their maintenance and support and, unlike some other companies, this is included in our hosting plans making it totally affordable.
We call it Web Care.
We update your WordPress Core and WordPress Plugins – this minimises the chance of your site being hacked.
We provide security with firewall protection, regular backups, software updates & other measures, such as hardening access to the backend of your site.
Every site should be regularly backed up in case something happens & the site needs to be rebuilt or reinstated. We backup your site everyday.
It is essential to secure your site with an SSL certificate which encrypts communications. As part of your hosting, we incorporate an SSL certificate for free.
Not only does Google love fresh content, the content on your website should entice your visitors to keep coming back. We can help you with content marketing.
Search engines prefer websites that are fast, error free and are well maintained. From page speed to broken links to 404 errors – we can help you fix your site problems.
For all the sites we build we prefer to host them ourselves and as part and parcel of our hosting, we look after your site maintenance & security and include your SSL certificate. Compare these services to other companies and you will see we are totally affordable – starting from $35/month + GST.
In order to save money, some people would like to maintain their own site, however, unless you know what you are doing, it might cost you more to fix your site in the long run.
We monitor and update websites regularly – this means we check your website thoroughly, update your core and plugins as required, and monitor security issues. If in the event there is a plugin conflict, we can fix it. This is especially important when there are large plugin updates (for example, Woo Commerce).
If you don’t have Web Care looking after your maintenance & security, you may actually be throwing money out the window by not providing proper maintenance to your site.
If you compare our Web Care services to other companies, you will see we are unbelievably affordable – starting from $35/month + GST.
You can’t be 100% protected from being hacked, but regular maintenance puts your site in a better position and minimises the chance of hacking.
There are many aspects that go into WordPress website maintenance from finding & fixing broken links & 404 errors to regularly updating your WordPress website core & plugins.
Each aspect has a different time frame – but for websites that don’t need the most regular maintenance, monthly maintenance should be the standard to help to keep your site in proper working order.
