Maintain the Health of Your Website – In order to maintain optimal functionality and avoid vulnerabilities, it is necessary to update your core and plugins since WordPress offers updates to address security concerns. For instance, hackers can steal data from your website and re-route customers to other websites from your own website. As a result, your business could lose sales and trust from your client base. Maintaining a healthy website with the proper updates ensures a fully functioning updated space for your customers to engage with your business.
Backups – It is important to backup the website each month to maintain the updates and data collected by your website. If your website is not backed up each month and a catastrophe occurs, there is no way to access all the past data.
Updated Graphics and Messaging – Since your business changes and evolves over time, it is necessary to update the messaging and graphics on your page to keep your website fresh for your customers. By keeping your graphics and messaging on your website current, you are extending the longevity of your website instead of having to create a whole new one in a few years to better fit your evolving business; thus, avoiding a much larger expense!
