Website security is paramount here at Fife Website Design and we do everything we can to ensure your website will not be brought down by hackers. Unfortunately WordPress is notorious for being quite easy to hack. Fortunately for you and your business we are always one step ahead of these cyber vandals to minimise the possibility of your website being hijacked.
We store a daily backup of your WordPress website in the case of the event that it is compromised and infected by a virus or hacker. This will give you total peace-of-mind ensure there will be minimum disruption to your business if the worst does happen.
Your website needs to be available to your customers 24/7, there’s nothing worse than visiting a website and it’s ‘Not Available’. With our performance monitoring we closely monitor your website every second of every day and notify you if there is any problems with it being delivered to your customers as it should be.
Just like your car or laptop, if you just keep using your website and don’t do some spring cleaning now and again things will start to go wrong with it. Part of our care plans are to clean up your websites database and ensure everything is as it should be. This can also help with your websites load speed and increase your search engine rankings.
Not only does an SSL Certificate on your website evoke trust with your website visitors it can also give you a boost up the search engine rankings. Google has recently stated that it is now a ‘requirement’ for your website to protect its visitors by encrypting the information collected and stored by it. As you can see from the address bar on this website it is secured with the HTTPS showing that it has a secure connection. Many online customers these days are very savvy about this vital web browsing feature and they will be doubtful about staying on your website let alone entering their personal details or even purchasing some goods from your website if it is not secure.
Our link checking service will scan your website and report any broken links. Broken links can occur for a variety of reasons, mainly just old websites that no longer exist. Google will penalise your website if it finds any broken links on it which can effect your website’ ranking in the search results. If we find any broken links on your website we will simply renew them or replace them with new links that work. The next time Google scans your website they will be happy and reward you with a boost up the search results.
Another major factor of your websites performance is the speed that it loads online. We test your website and find issues that cause it to load slowly then get to work speeding things up. You can test how quickly your website loads with this handy Google Website Speed Checker – a good rule of thumb is to aim for under 2-3 seconds load time.
Below is a choice of the three main care plans that we offer. The Essential Plan includes everything that is required to keep your website running smoothly and more importantly to keep it safe and secure. The Social and Ultimate Plans are designed to help you grow your business profile online, hands free.
Although it is not essential that you are on one of our website care plans, it is highly recommended. Unless you have a team of web masters at your disposal then we would recommend you delegate this upkeep of your business website to us or another web development company.
With the Social and Ultimate Plans the results can be almost instant, depending on your initial audience. If you have a thousand Facebook fans then the content we create and post for you could provide instant results.
You can cancel your care plan at anytime but we would suggest that you give it at least 3 to 6 months to measure if it is helping your business or not.
I like to think of Google as a website content monster. Goolge craves fresh new website content, therefore it is a good idea to publish new content to your website at least once a week. We do this by publishing an original, professionally writen article to your website in the form of a blog post.
The short answer is yes. If you are confident enough in using WordPress then you can perform updates yourself.
We will create and publish 3 social media posts for you per day. This will consist of sharing industry related posts and sharing your own blog posts to your social media channels. IE, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
