Website Maintenance
Need Website Maintenance for Your WordPress Site?
If left unchecked, a wordpress site can become very vulnerable to hackers and malicious attacks. WHY?
Because web browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Firefox are constantly being updated to include new features and to adapt to changes in web technologies. Security patches are released frequently by WordPress and the web browser companies to protect users like you and your website. If these patches are not configured and installed, you become vulnerable to potential attacks.
Even a server crash, bad plugin, theme update or an insecure web host could cost you dearly in time, money and reputation.
