website upgrades
is it time for an upgrade?
OK, so you have one of our awesome websites, or maybe one designed by another agency (that’s ok, we all have a past) but a few years have passed and perhaps it’s not looking as fresh as it once did. Should you update it?
Apparently, the average company updates their website every 2.7 years! That’s maybe a bit frequent for your average small business – seriously, who has the time for that?! So what are the reasons for updating a website?
reason 1 - security
An updated website is a secure website. By ensuring all plugins, software and apps are updated you stop your website from being an easy target. Most updates include security patches and fixes that are designed to counter specific known threats. So when you’re still using an old version of a plugin, for example, you leave yourself vulnerable to threats, which is exactly what hackers are looking for.
Note – if you are on our managed hosting service we manage this for you already.
reason 2 - accessibility
If you’re considering upgrading your website in order to ensure it is accessible to the widest possible range of customers, then you are definitely our type of business. We believe in making truly accessible websites to help make the web a place that everyone can access in a way that suits them.
reason 3 - easier to update
We have always been proud of the fact that our customers can update their own websites, but since 2021 we’ve taken the ease of use to a new level. Our new Elementor powered WordPress systems are knocking socks off all over. See for yourself by viewing the video below.
