Everyone deserves a holiday – except your website!
A website is never finished, nor is it a set and forget asset. It is your 24/7 online presence, and it needs to be treated with the utmost care and respect.
We offer lifetime care for your website at various levels to suit your website and your budget. We can help keeping the site’s software up to date (WordPress core, theme and plugins) as well as keeping a regular backup in the case of trouble.
We can also offer content upgrades, security audits, SEO improvements, site optimisation (for faster loading times) and many other tweaks and improvements.
Our care plans are paid by the month and you are not tied in with contracts (however we will give you a hefty discount if you pay by the year).
All websites are vulnerable
All modern websites need regular updating. Your website is powered by a range of software that works together and works best when they are all kept updated. This is how security vulnerabilities get patched, and new features implemented (Remember the Mossack Fonseca breach? The hackers exploited a plugin that hadn’t been updated). No website is ultimately safe from being hacked, and so it is incumbent on you to have a system in place to keep your site secure as possible and a plan in case of trouble. That’s where we can help.
Can’t I do it myself?
Yes. It’s a big learning curve to learn how to manage your website effectively, but of course, it can be done. But a bigger question is should you?
Haven’t you got better things to do? A business to run? Do you really want to be fiddling around in the back end, not sure if what you are doing is going to break something, or whether it’s the right way to do things? Technology is constantly evolving, and so if you don’t do this all the time, you won’t keep up. We love WordPress because it’s user-friendly, and tech savvy people might want to take this on themselves, but we just think you probably should be focussing on your core business.
What are the benefits and inclusions of a care plan?
Why leave website maintenance to the professionals?
The main reason to let Photografica Creative handle your website maintenance is to free up your time and mental energy so you can focus on your core business. Your website should be working for you and helping you further your business brand, not sucking time from your day every time a plug-in needs to be updated. We have been creating and supporting WordPress sites since 2007 and know the best practices to keep your site functioning at its best.
