Updates

Updating your website is key to keeping it running fast and being secure. Like your smartphone’s software updates need to be done to keep them how we like them … Working! Unlike your smartphone, there is always a risk when updating your website as it uses plugins built by different people. Updating these plugins can cause them to misconfigure and break. We take a copy of the site files and host them on a dummy link/ test bed. We then update the website and run detailed tests. If it works, we update the real thing. If it breaks then your real site is still working while we create an alternative solution.

It might be that you want your website to always be looking fresh and want new images each month. Whatever the reason we have your amendment covered within your support package.
