Your website is critical – the public face of your business, it generates leads, customers and revenue, and provides a channel through which the world will find and engage with you. It’s fundamental to the success of your business and for your peace of mind that it be available for your audience 24/7 without interruption, and that it continue to support ongoing business growth.

Once your site is live, it needs to stay that way. WordPress is a flexible, well supported, easy to use content management system, but because it is ‘open source’ software (the original source code is modified and improved upon and the themes and plugins we use to make it achieve so much are built by contributors to the software) it has vulnerabilities. WordPress core software is updated regularly and this core change must be reflected with plugin upgrades. For this reason, updates, backups, downtime monitoring and reliable security protocols are essential.
