Website maintenance is essential to providing a great visitor experience. Your visitors deserve a safe, secure and fast browsing experience. For the most part, this experience is provided by keeping your website’s server, CMS, themes and plugins up to date. This process is often technical and time-consuming. For this reason, we offer custom website maintenance packages. Ultimately, we save you the stress of trying to handle it on your own.
Because speed and security are essential keys to effective web design, Consonant Marketing’s servers are updated regularly. Our client websites are run on stable, yet up-to-date versions of scripting languages and database management systems.
CMS updates are essential to keeping your website’s security and functionality current. CMS updates contain security upgrades that not only fix bugs but also patch security holes exposed by hackers. In a given month, Wordpress is known to release 2 to three updates. Based on their history, a major new feature release happens every 4 months. Our website maintenance clients rest easy knowing we handle it all for them.
In addition to CMS updates, your website theme requires regular updates. Theme updates provide added features and security patches. If your website’s theme is not compatible with the current version of the CMS, your site can break.
Outdated plugins are a security risk. For this reason, keeping them up-to-date is essential. Because incompatible plugins are the number one cause of broken websites, we keep your website’s plugins compatible with the CMS and theme.
Your website runs on a database, or series of databases. Over time, databases accumulate information, some of which is unnecessary, and they grow in size. As a result, the speed at which users can access the database decreases. In other words, your website becomes slower over time. For this reason, we regularly optimize our clients’ databases.
Optimization removes all unnecessary data, such as spam, unapproved comments, unpublished draft revisions and expired transients. Consonant Marketing’s website maintenance clients receive database optimization as part of their maintenance agreement.
