Every website needs to be maintained, some more often than others.  A WordPress website is constantly evolving in order to keep up with best practices and security threats. These updates to the WordPress software must be completed regularly. Similarly, the Plugins on your website are also updated often, both to keep up with the WordPress software and security threats. If you don’t have the time to log in and check your site for updates regularly, this may be something we should handle.

WordPress is the most widely used CMS (content management system) to date, accounting for over 60% of all websites. It gained this standing due to its ease of use and good standing with Google’s standards. Any website is a target for hackers, and WordPress’ wide use makes it especially enticing.

Every WordPress site has some security built in, but it is best practice to take extra measures to safeguard against attack. If you built your website yourself, or it was built without mention of security, some of the basics may have been overlooked. In addition, there are plugins (software) that make your site’s defense even stronger, and will alert you if an attack is under way.

A website is a digital representation of your small business.  As your business is always evolving, so should your website. Your design might change due to a new product launch, updated branding, or require corrections after an update.  Finally, website trends change from year to year. Keeping up with these trends will keep your business looking fresh and up-to-date.
