Website Maintenance in Newcastle
Website maintenance for Hunter businesses whose site was built by a mate
A lot of Hunter small businesses got their first website from a friend, a relative or a freelancer who has since moved on. It worked for a while. Now nobody's updated it in years, the logins are in someone else's email, and it's quietly become a security risk.
We take over sites like these, recover access, secure and update them, and then keep them maintained, with a named person to message when something needs changing.
Getting the keys back
We help you recover the domain, hosting and site logins and put them in your business's name. It's often the most important thing we do, because a domain registered to someone else can disappear when they stop paying for it.
Then keep it healthy
Updates, security monitoring, daily off-site backups, uptime alerts and small content changes, with a short monthly note of what was done.
