Website Management and Page Updates
One of the most important aspects of running a business is having a solid online presence. Not only does this mean that your website needs to be up and running at all times, but you also need to update your content regularly. With so many things going on in our daily lives, it can be easy for small business owners to forget about their websites and miss out on potential new customers.
But it’s not just content that needs updating from time to time; software needs it, too! One of the biggest causes of data breaches, website hacks, or website exploits is software that is not updated regularly.
Popular online platforms like WordPress are great for building an ideal business website at any budget. However, since so many businesses use these platforms, they are prime targets for hackers (Hackers love outdated software). While platform providers do a great job of staying one step ahead, the only way to reap those security benefits is to promptly install all core and plugin updates.
Website Maintenance & Updates (Software, Text, and Images)
There are few things more frustrating for a website user than broken images or pictures taken in 1990 that are still used on the website. We’re not saying older websites don’t have their place, but a newer website definitely attracts a different kind of client.
Our team can maintain your website with fresh new content monthly or every few months. While we teach each of our clients how to use their website, many clients just don’t have the time to maintain it and would rather let our team make the updates.
Here are some of the items that we perform for clients when they need them;
- Update content on the website – we have content writers that can update blogs, page content, or sales copy as needed
- Upload new images – clients send us the images they want for the website, and then our team optimizes the image and uploads it online
- Redesign sections – maybe you need a Job Application online – our team can update a section for you
Maintain Software Updates
Software Updates should be considered a mandatory task for all websites, but many people forget about it. Not only do we perform the necessary software updates, but we also generate a backup of your website so that, should something happen, we have a restoration point to return to. Many services that update a website never bother to make a backup, since the update “should just work,” and then they’re left spending hours fixing the problem (and charging you for their screw-up).
Even if you never hire Big Red SEO to make a software update, we implore you to make regular backups. You just never know when your web hosting company will have a problem (or go out of business) and leave you with no website at all!
Hacker and Virus Issues
The dreaded hacker! With all the popular software on the internet, it’s very easy for a hacker to execute a single program and infect hundreds or even thousands of websites in seconds. Since Conor ran a web hosting company for 17 years, he’s seen his share of hacked websites or server hacks that affected client websites. When a website is hacked, most of the time, your web hosting company will be of no help to you. They may tell you to restore a backup, but if you don’t have one, they just leave your site offline.
Big Red SEO has performed hacking and defaced site mitigation for dozens of clients. While it’s always best to restart a backup and then patch the problem areas, sometimes that’s not possible. At those times, you need someone familiar with website software or PHP who can identify the intrusion and get your website back online as soon as possible.
