StepForth Security Pro - For Active Clients Only
As a company that works with a high percentage of WordPress websites, we know and love the platform. That said, like any other broadly adopted content management system (CMS), WordPress requires attention in order to maintain its security and to ensure your website is running optimally.
We created StepForth Security Pro to ensure that your website is kept updated monthly and has the appropriate backups in place to rebound from any successful hacking attempts. We find that nearly 100% of our clientele are simply too busy running their business to stay on top of these updates.
Lastly, a hacked site without recent backups typically costs upwards of $300 to fix, not including the harm the hack has done to your online reputation, rankings, and overall traffic when visitors encounter browser warnings like the red alert shown below.
This warning is representative of a common alert Google provides within the Chrome browser when a site has been hacked and a person is about to visit it. This warning can do an incredible amount of immediate sales damage and long-term reputation smearing of your online brand.
StepForth’s WordPress website maintenance packages are broken up into four packages, two packages are for non-WP Engine hosted sites and the other two for WP Engine hosted sites.
Discount Included: If it turns out your site requires development/programming updates, we will offer this work at a 10% discount if you are on this plan. That is $85.50/hr vs. $95/hr; excluding any 3rd party rates in the rare instance where outside help may be required. This discount piles on savings on top of savings. All a part of our mandate to be your most trusted and valued web and web marketing service provider.
