Website Care (Maintenance)

Website Care Plans are suitable for people who may have some technical knowledge but don’t have enough time to do the work. Or for people with no technical knowledge and/or time to update their website.
Here’s where I do ALL the work for you. If you have a blog that needs regular new posts added, products added to your shop, or pages created or updated regularly, then a website care plan is for you.
Send me the content and pictures, and I’ll do the rest. You can choose between either 1/2 hour, 1 hour or 3 hours of my time per month, and I will keep your website, plugins and theme up to date every week as well as making daily backups of your website for those ‘just in case’ times – checking security and monitoring whether your website may be offline for any reason. And if you need support I’ll be there when you need me (at reasonable times of course).

At a high level, an attacker views a vulnerable website as a juicy collection of resources that they can steal or exploit:

• It’s backed by a server that they can use to run their own programs
• It’s connected to the internet and likely has a squeaky-clean reputation
• It might include interesting user data
• It probably has traffic coming to it
• It is likely important to you

Most of the time, they use those resources to make money. And they continue to find new creative ways to make a buck.

Using Your Server to Run Their Own Programs for:

• Cryptocurrency Mining
• Hosting Phishing Pages
• Hosting Spam Pages and Injecting Spammy Links
• Sending Spam Email
• Attacking Other Sites
• Hosting Malicious Content

Leveraging Your Site Traffic for:

• Malicious Redirects
• Defacements
• Distributing Malware
• Stealing Data
• Ransomware

For me to recover your hacked website currently costs in excess of £400, so in other words, when you do not update your website you are risking your website security, missing out on new features/improvements and risking additional costs to get your website back.

Don’t worry though, I have your back.
