Full Managed Security
We run scans to ensure your site is 100% clean from malicious files on your server.
In the past few years we have worked with so many new WordPress clients that had a awesome looking site built for them. But, due to lack of proper maintenance on the WordPress CMS (plugins, theme, version of WordPress and PHP version on the hosting account), the site was injected with malware, a spam link injection or worse yet a complete unfixable hack that keeps auto reinstalling itself after all of the malicious files are deleted. The next thing they knew their website was unfixable and they had no choice to pursue a complete redesign. This can easily be prevented with proper maintenance on your WordPress website monthly.
“My site worked fine for years and next thing I knew people were telling me the site is redirecting them to a different site.”
“A client called me today and told me my site was down, I called my web guy who confirmed and then ran a scan which reported it was hacked and he has no idea how it happened or how to fix it.”
“Random ads linking to inappropriate sites started showing up in my website pages, pop ups as well, how can I stop this?”
If your WordPress website has not been updated and maintained regularly on the back end, you are highly susceptible to have the site hacked, a malware injection or a complete takeover completely wiping your site out with everything gone.
A WordPress site has a lot of benefits which includes an easy to use editor to make quick changes to the site on your own, but it also requires monthly maintenance to keep the site up to date and working as it should. Our WordPress maintenance services include all of the needed updates (and testing after each update), backups, security fixes and ensuring your site consistently performs at its best with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

In 12 plus years of working with the WordPress Content Management System, we have learned a lot. No two WordPress websites are the same, almost like snowflakes. We have worked with so many editors in the WordPress world and mastered all of them. There are tons of prebuilt WordPress themes out there that run the site as well as many custom WordPress themes.
It would be much easier if every WordPress site had the same editor to build and maintain the website with. Or we would settle for 3 editors max for WordPress sites, those would have to be the Avia Layout Builder with the Enfold theme, Divi or Elementor, which are all very robust content editors for maintaining completed sites and excellent builders for custom sites.
When we complete a new WordPress site for a client and go live on their domain, we schedule immediate training to teach our client how to easily update and maintain their website.
A WordPress website has many benefits, the most important is a back end editor with a simple to use editor that allows someone who has no programming or technical experience to easily update their website on their own. A WordPress site also has the ability to install thousands of free plugins that allow you to easily add functionality to your site like shopping cart systems, photo galleries, live chat on your website and so much more.
But a WordPress website is very complicated in structure and is in many ways similar to your car, it requires frequent maintenance or it is going to break.
IF YOU HAVE A WORDPRESS WEBSITE AND ARE NOT DOING CORE UPDATES MONTHLY, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT A MATTER OF WHEN YOUR SITE WILL GET HACKED.
A website hack or malware injection will cost the site owner a lot of money to remove the virus and in some cases the entire site will be wiped out and cannot be recovered.

The following is a list of the things that are crucial to keep updated for security and usability purposes in your WordPress website:
WordPress Plug-in Updates
If your website is using any CMS like WordPress, plug-ins need to be updated often, not only to take advantage of new features the plug-in offers, but more importantly to ensure your plug-in works with the current version of your CMS and even more important that it is secure and not vulnerable to website hacks.
WordPress Website Backups
If you do not routinely run backups of your site, especially each time new additions or changes are made, you are taking a big risk that you will be left in the dark if your site is compromised or gets infected with a virus. All of that hard work can be lost if backups are not run routinely as the site gets updates.
WordPress Page Speed Optimization
Page load time is crucial when trying to keep visitors on your site, if your site takes more than a couple of seconds to initially load or if there are lags when visitors navigate page to page in your site, more often than not they will close your site down and move onto the next one. There is nothing more frustrating than slow load times from the end user perspective. Check your website loading speed with Google PageSpeed Insights, here you will be graded for mobile and desktop load time.
Malware Protection
There are many plug-ins and tools to prevent and remove viruses. If you have been notified that your site has the message “This site may harm your computer” in Google results or you think you are already infected or you have received an email from Google webmaster tools that your site is infected, get it fixed asap to prevent the spread of that virus to any users who visit your website.
WordPress Theme Updates
Just when you thought updating the plug-ins on your site was crucial to keep your site secure, you also need to update your site theme each time the developer of your theme puts out an update. The updates contain security updates (as well as new features just like plug-ins) to ensure your site is secure.
