WordPress Website Care Plan

Some people may ask why on earth anyone would need a Wordpress Website Care Plan?

The answer is quite simple -

  1.  Your website is more vulnerable if it's not cared for and updated.

  2.  If you don't add any new content to the website the likelihood is, it isn't going to perform very well for you either.

Wordpress care the essential information

Wordpress powers over 1 billion websites across the globe meaning it is quite a large target when it comes to security vulnerabilities.

The way most Wordpress websites are configured is by deploying the Wordpress Core to run the majority of the website and then deploying third-party plugins to provide additional functionality such as eCommerce and countless other features.

When it comes to Wordpress Website Care a good care plan should take care of every element of your website from the web server performance, Wordpress Core software and any additional plugins, making sure all of them are up to date and working effectively.

So why not do it yourself?

The simple answer to this question is you could.  However, sometimes updating a slew of plugins and the Wordpress core can lead to problems.  The Wordpress core may be compatible with most plugins and vice versa, indeed most of your website could be ok running on the latest updated web server software, but if one part of the equation isn't compatible the entire website can go down leaving you with a host of problems trying to get it back up and running again.

This isn't an insurmountable problem for most Wordpress professionals but for the DIY user this type of failure could lead to you having to spend hours with tech support people in chat, employing a 3rd party developer or worse being told your website needs rebuilding.

So what about new content?

New content is imperative to keep up in search.

Many people ask why new content is needed to keep up in the search rankings.  The answer is quite simple really, Google and most other search engines' main job is to provide people with the most recent and relevant answers to the questions they punch into their devices.

If your website has the most recent and relevant content to the question then great your website arrives high up the list of results, but if your content is old and someone has newer content that's more relevant then they get the higher position.

New content indicates how well you engage with your customer base.

New content is important for search engines when working out how your website and content ranks.  You may have some superb content that's years old, but how do search engines know you are still an active business, how do they know you still engage with your industry and customer base?

Your 1,000 word piece of content may answer perfectly the question someone is asking but will they get the solution to the problem they have if they need to employ a professional to fix an issue?  It would be fair to assume that a website with good content that is updated regularly, and content that offers more engagement with customers is more active than a website with dusty old great content with no updates.

Helping build confidence

It's important to consider, your website maybe the only way you reach out to customers, it's not a lot differently to a physical shop or office space.  If a prospective customer entered your business premises would you try and offer them help with a view to making a sale or would you stay quiet.  Building a raport and passing on some of your latest industry news instills confidence when you are face to face.  Your website shouldn't be any different.
