A successful WordPress site requires regular attention.
Improving functionality through ongoing upgrades and maintenance will improve your visitor experience as well as give you peace of mind that your site is running at its best.
Updates are always being made to WordPress as well as themes and plugins. Keeping your WordPress installation up-to-date is extremely important, especially since so many WordPress updates are security fixes and patches that will prevent potential exploits of the vulnerabilities of your website or blog.
Because WordPress is so widespread, it is constantly being targeted by hackers who will try to break into your site and wreak havoc. As soon the WordPress developers find these vulnerabilities, they create patches to fix them, leading to regular updates that will keep your WordPress installation clean and safe. If you do not keep your WordPress installation current, you risk becoming the next victim to malicious attacks that can be easily prevented by keeping your WordPress code up-to-date.
Your time is valuable. Let us do all the dirty work for you, so you can focus on what is most important in your business.
Choose one of our monthly maintenance plans, and leave the technical details, and the worrying to us!
