Why Websites Get Hacked: The Importance of Maintenance
Imagine leaving the front door of your shop unlocked every night. It’s unthinkable, right? Yet thousands of business owners effectively do this with their websites every day.
Software is constantly changing. The platform your site is built on (like WordPress) releases updates to fix security holes. If you don't install those updates, hackers have a map directly to your data.
What Does Maintenance Actually Do?
Monthly maintenance isn't just an extra fee; it's your insurance policy against disaster. A good maintenance plan covers:
Plugin Updates
Your contact forms, galleries, and SEO tools all need updating. If one becomes outdated, it becomes a backdoor for malware.
Backups

Uptime Monitoring
Do you know if your website goes offline at 2 AM? We do. Monitoring ensures we can fix server issues before your customers even notice.
