Your website is a critical element of your business
It’s your 24/7 sales rep. Your website generates leads, it helps inform and convert customers, it helps generate sales and revenue. It’s where customers,vendors, new staff and partners will find your brand and engage with you. For these reasons you want peace of mind that it’ll be available 24/7 without any issues and that it will continue to support your business as it grows.
All websites on the internet are at risk
The digital landscape has changed. A website is not something you can just set and forget after its launched: The software that powers your site needs to be kept up to date, your data needs to be backed up regularly, and your site needs to be monitored and maintained for speed and security. The downside to websites is that they are constantly the target of attacks. More and more websites are getting hacked and attacked each day.
Save yourself valuable time
Keeping your website up-to-date, backed up and secure can be time consuming. Learning all of the technical ins and outs to correct any issues takes time away from building relationships with your customers, clients, staff and partners. What happens if something goes wrong? Do you have the time, knowledge and ability keep it working properly without disrupting your business?
