What website maintenance and support services do we offer?
At Jigowatt we realise that every business and every website is unique, and we’re not interested in selling you services you don’t need. We’ll tailor a bespoke service to fit your specific needs on a personal level. Whether it’s meeting and maintaining your security needs, making daily backups, or ensuring you have the most up-to-date plugins, our web professionals have got you covered.
There are many services your website might require and we’ll go the extra mile to achieve the best possible results. Below we detail some of the services we specialise in.
Website security
If there is one thing that matters most in managing a WordPress website, it’s website security. Having a hacker seize control of your site, disrupt your business and invade your space is a terrifying thought, so ensuring that the website is secure should always be top priority.
We use Wordfence, a premium WordPress security plugin that includes an endpoint firewall to recognise and block malicious traffic. It also contains a malware scanner to easily check that no dangerous software has made its way into the site. With this in place and With 24 hour uptime monitoring the chances of being hacked fall to near zero.
In the unfortunate event that your website is hacked, contact us immediately. Even if you’re not an existing customer, we’ll use our experience and expertise to recover your WordPress site, fix and delete any suspicious files and get it back to full working order.
Plugin and theme updates
Plugins for WordPress are pieces of software that can be integrated with your website, to add functionalities and features. They turn a basic website into something that feels interactive and engaging for the user. Usually, WordPress plugins are developed by a third-party and must be installed on to the site.
Themes work in a similar fashion to plugins, except that they add design and layout to a page rather than functionality. There are over 55,000 WordPress plugins and over 11,000 WordPress themes.
After a third-party has developed a plugin or theme, they won’t just leave it to get outdated, but will regularly update it to ensure it offers websites the best possible features and performance. In order to keep your website running smoothly, you’ll need to make sure all plugins and themes are kept up-to-date at all times. With our website maintenance services we take this hassle off your hands, updating your software regularly, keeping your website up to date, so you can rest assured that your users are satisfied and your business is thriving.
Training sessions
For many website owners, being able to leave the maintenance of their website to a group of experienced experts is the perfect solution. It gives them more free time to take care of other things, whilst knowing your website is in the capable hands of a successful web design agency.
On the other hand, by taking care of the maintenance yourself you have complete control of what goes on with your website at all times, and we recognise that for some businesses this is a very attractive thought.
This is why we offer highly recommended WordPress training sessions and guides, either in-person or online, allowing you to become the expert and achieve great results for yourself. And remember, if something does go wrong, we’re still only a phone call away!
Backups
There’s nothing worse than investing time and money into making something great, only to lose it due to a technical glitch or human mistake. Whatever the reason, losing data or site files could be disastrous for your WordPress website. If you run your business from your website, the down-time is likely to cost you in lost revenue.
At Jigowatt, we know how stressful this can be for a business, so we make sure our clients never have to deal with it. With daily backups, as well as backups on-demand, we ensure next to zero down-time for your business even in the worst possible scenarios. This gives you the peace of mind to focus on what you care about most – running your company.
Bug fixes
Unfortunately, whilst themes add great style and design to your website, there are a whole host of annoying bugs that can come with them. You don’t want users being put off by a buggy interface or technical glitch. These are issues we know inside out, having been building, fixing and debugging WordPress themes for over a decade. Thats why a website maintenance package with Jigowatt is crucial.
There are a number of other common WordPress issues that will require debugging. Without expert knowledge to help you recognise these problems early on, things can soon get out of control. Thankfully, with our rapid support team of developers, we can identify and solve them before they reach a stage where they could harm your business.
