Reactive website support is a cost you can't afford

The longer your website is left to digital rot, the more expensive it becomes to restore. If your website went down right now, who would you call? Is there a plan of action? When was the last time your website's theme was updated, and how long would it take someone to notice that a vital widget stopped working? In the world wide web, things break if left unattended. A reactionary strategy will cost your business more daily than a proactive website maintenance plan, not just in the long run.

Website Hacks are happening daily! Don't be caught unprepared and without a backup...
