We were inspired (okay, maybe a little triggered) by a post claiming that agencies “just push buttons.” So we decided to set the record straight: website maintenance is more than one-click updates. It’s constant vigilance, security management, troubleshooting rogue plugins, and dealing with domains that vanish into the void.
