WordPress websites should be updated monthly to keep them safe and secure. Theme and plugin developers are sending out updates much more frequently. We want to keep your site up-to-date because sites that aren’t updated are frequently hacked.
We offer you the choice of monthly (recommended) updates. As Requested updates will be done only for sites we did not build but are in desperate need of updating or have been hacked or damaged.
Complete the online order form. Once you’ve signed up, Piedmont Website Designer will take care of your site updates.
Piedmont Website Designer has been building, managing and keeping safe websites for 25 years. We’ve learned that sites with outdated or unsupported plugins, old versions of WordPress and suffering from “owner neglect” are often maliciously hacked. This means that your site could be delivering malware (and get blacklisted by search engines) or sending spam (and getting blacklisted by spam providers and web servers).
The best way to prevent these online tragedies is to keep your sites up-to-date.
