In the 20 years since the WordPress content management system (CMS) was launched, it has become the online shop window for millions of small, medium-sized and large businesses.
The hugely flexible system offers a vast choice of templates and plug-ins, creating sites that can grow and evolve alongside the companies operating them to generate more sales.
However, that increased complexity often means more WordPress care and maintenance for the business owner. That’s where the experts at Essex-based TDW Digital Solutions come in.
We offer a variety of WordPress website maintenance packages to suit every budget and business. We guarantee peace of mind for site owners and their consumers by ensuring your WordPress sites are always up-to-date, backed up and secure.
Managing a WordPress site
WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS. It drives more than 30% of the entire web, and accounts for more than 36% of the top one million websites by traffic.
While initially user friendly, over time, staying on top of the latest site updates, new features, bug fixes and other technical requirements can become overwhelming, particularly if your business operates more than one website.
As WordPress experts, we know that sites with outdated software and themes or lacking plugin updates are among the most vulnerable to hackers seeking to exploit them.
There could also be compatibility issues with secure software upgrades, and these are not the only risks to your website and business if you don’t have care plans in place.
A WordPress website with SEO and keywords that are not regularly updated could impact on the customer experience, potentially sending it tumbling down the rankings of search engines.
As well as 24/7 security monitoring, all our WordPress support plans include regular maintenance, ensuring each website speed remains consistent and security systems across the board are running smoothly.
Why do I need WordPress maintenance services?
As WordPress developers, we understand there’s more to operating a WordPress website than choosing a template and posting blogs and images. Like all digital technology, it requires regular maintenance.
Adding your own content can be a time-consuming job, but beyond that, there are upgrades to the CMS’ core, as well as theme updates and plugin updates to take care of as part of your regular WordPress website maintenance.
Security monitoring and threat management are also complex and time-consuming considerations, whether you operate an ecommerce website or manage WooCommerce websites.
Entrepreneurs will know their field inside out, but unlike our friendly team of WordPress developers, they’re not experts in malware removal or the best ways to guarantee site security.
Hackers have become increasingly sophisticated in their attacks and the malware they use. Businesses that aren’t protected from security issues could fall victim to scams that not only cost them money, but could also damage their reputation among customers.
Finally, your site content is hugely important to your business, but how often do you backup all those images, files and other data? What would you do if the worst happened and a technical issue meant everything vanished in a click? How quickly could you get back online?
These are just a few reasons why it’s smart to invest in a WordPress maintenance plan.
