Why maintenance matters

Most hacked WordPress sites are running an outdated plugin. Updates fix security holes, but an update can also break a page, so it needs a backup first and a check afterwards. That is exactly what our maintenance plan does. Read our website maintenance checklist if you want to do it yourself.

Who it is for

  • Business owners who do not have time for updates
  • WordPress sites with several plugins
  • Online shops that cannot afford downtime
  • Sites we built for you

Kevin from web design hosting has been excellent to work with for the last 10 years. He handled the design and hosting of our website for Zeek Gold and made the whole process easy from start to finish. He’s responsive, explains things clearly, and always follows through on what he promises. He built / redesigned our site at zeekgold.co.za, and whenever we’ve needed changes or help, he’s sorted it…
