WHY DO I NEED TO UPDATE?
WordPress is a flexible, well supported, easy to use content management system, but because it's 'open-source' software it has vulnerabilities. The themes and plugins we use to make it achieve so much are built by a large diverse community of contributors - this means its most valued aspect is also its Achilles heel. To keep your site working smoothly, safely and securely and respond to the security events and improvements made by the community, your site needs to be updated and checked.
WHAT ARE UPDATES?
Content and software updates are crucial to your site being relevant to customers and delivering a great user experience. It's essential to stay on top of core and plugin software changes, and your business messaging as your services change to align with your audience. Our client care plans deliver software updates AND time for content updates each month.
UPTIME and BACKUPS
Site downtime can happen for a number of reasons – the most common of these is host server issues. We're notified if your site goes down, and can jump in to troubleshoot. We use dedicated wordpress hosting that minimises server ups and downs. You get a monthly uptime monitoring report.
Daily offsite backups mean should there be a problem, we can easily peel back to a clean pre-issue site.
SECURITY
Updates generally occur in response to a vulnerability of the plugin or in response to a fix for a security issue in WordPress core. Regular updates are the best way to ensure your site is protected against hacking and malware that can result in google blacklisting, erosion of customer confidence or spreading malware unknowingly.
