ActionSkills’s Website CarePlan
Ongoing management and security for your WordPress website
A neglected WordPress site is a vulnerable one.
Outdated software is the most common way hackers get in. Recovery costs far more than prevention, and that’s if your backups even work.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre puts it plainly: “Without strong security, your website is likely to become a target for cybercriminals“
Their advice to website owners is to protect logins, back up regularly, and keep software updated. That is exactly what a care plan does, every week, without you thinking about it.
This isn’t set-and-forget automation. Every week a real person reviews your updates, checks your site visually, and investigates anything unusual.
Updates happen on schedule. Uptime and vulnerabilities are monitored around the clock. Your site is backed up in three independent locations.
You get your time back for what actually matters: your content and your community.
Our CarePlans come in a range of options to suit different websites, budgets and levels of support.
Our CarePlans support WordPress websites hosted anywhere. If you’re looking for reliable local hosting, we offer that too.
Contact Glenn to discuss the right plan for you, ask a question or arrange an invoice.
