Your website is your hardest-working employee. It is on the job 24/7, answering questions, showing off your products and services, and helping people decide whether they will do business with you.
The trouble is, many businesses treat their website like a “set and forget” project, only paying attention when something goes wrong. That is a bit like waiting for your car to break down before you book a service.
We have seen what happens when maintenance is ignored: slow load times, broken forms, outdated content, and in some cases, complete shutdowns. Regular maintenance is not just about fixing problems. It is about keeping your site healthy, secure, and performing at its best all year round.
Keeping Your Website Fast and Smooth
Website speed has a direct impact on how many visitors turn into customers. Amazon once found that every 100 milliseconds of delay cost them 1% in sales. You might not be Amazon, but the effect on a smaller business can be even more noticeable.
Some of the key ways we keep sites running fast include:
- Database clean-ups: Over time, junk builds up in the database such as spam comments, old revisions, and unused settings. We clear this out so your site can move quicker.
- Image optimisation: Large, uncompressed images are often the biggest cause of slow pages. We compress them without losing visual quality.
- Caching tweaks: A good caching setup can make pages load in a fraction of the time. We review and adjust settings regularly so they keep pace with your traffic patterns.
Staying One Step Ahead of Security Threats
Cyber threats evolve daily. What kept your site safe six months ago might not cut it today. WordPress sites, which power 43% of the internet, are hit with over 90,000 attacks every minute. Most target out-of-date software.
Here is how we protect our clients:
- Security scans to find vulnerabilities before hackers do.
- Access audits to make sure only the right people have the right permissions.
- Backup testing because having a backup is one thing, but knowing it works is what matters in a crisis.
Keeping Visitors Happy
User expectations change quickly. What impressed people two years ago might frustrate them now.
We focus on:
- Mobile responsiveness – More than half of all browsing is done on phones, and your mobile site is now the version Google cares about most.
- Accessibility – Making sure your site works for everyone is not just the right thing to do, it is also increasingly a legal requirement.
- Content freshness – Updating product information, fixing broken links, and removing outdated pages signals to both visitors and search engines that your site is active.
