The Value of a Care Plan

In this fast-paced, instant-gratification society your website’s visitors assume that your website is always accurate, current, and reliable. However, most businesses don’t have someone on staff dedicated to the care and keeping of their website.

Just like a furry friend, vegetable garden, or relationship, your website requires frequent attention and care. Without this, your website has trouble doing what it’s designed to do—represent you in the digital world and bring in new business.

Sure, you could hire a new employee, or…you can give your website a Smack Happy Care Plan.

Think of us as your personal website advocates.

A care plan from Smack Happy does just that, provides weekly and monthly necessary care for your website. It’s a collection of preventative maintenance services that keep your website safe, healthy, and open for business.

Like what?

• Plugin, Theme and Core File updates
  WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system powering 43% of all websites on the internet. As a result, there are millions of plugins created by well-meaning developers to enhance the functionality of these WordPress websites. While plugins create amazing functionality they also, unfortunately, introduce vulnerabilities. Keeping plugins, themes, and core files updated is your best line of defense.
• Daily, Offsite Backups
  Pre-update backups insure that we can quickly fix anything that breaks as a result of these updates. Without a reliable and quickly accessible backup, plugin updates can turn into a messy site recovery task, and no one wants that!
• Vulnerability Monitoring
  We get notified when a plugin has a known vulnerability and we can take quick action to fix that vulnerability.
• Uptime Monitoring
  We will be notified if your website ever goes down, so we can get it back online before anyone else notices.
• Security Scanning
  We scan your website’s files to make sure everything is clean. Regular scanning is necessary for quickly identifying potential threats and addressing them.
• Link Monitoring
  If an external link ever goes dead (sends your valuable website visitors to a 404 “Page Not Found”) we can identify those links and either fix or remove them to keep your SEO value in-tact.
