For many web professionals, the biggest fear is the disappearance of a website, or a hacker has just taken your site captive.

Our team at PatientX is advocating that whether you are a small business or a multi-million dollar company, that you protect your investment and maintain your site, just like you would maintain your car.

In many cases, a website is like a car or a home. In order to keep it up-to-date and running properly, updates and repairs need to be made to ensure that your “web property” is top notch and not exposed to hackers.

The web is an ever-changing world of technology and tools. The best way to prepare your site to meet those changes head-on is to update regularly. Our recommendation is to update your site monthly. Also, running a performance test will help your company to address any weaknesses and kinks that can happen over time.

Reason to maintain your site:

• Keep links, plug-ins, and functionality running properly. There’s nothing worse for a visitor to go to a page that is broken or getting an error message
• Regular maintenance notifies Google and other search engines that your content and site are up-to-date.
• Keep up with the changing technology. No one likes being the last one to the party. These updates impact your web presence and keep your site running at optimum levels.
• Proper maintenance keeps your site and company in a secure position in case there was ever a hack, or your site was taken down as a result of malice activity. With the right backups, your site would be recovered with the click of a button.

We want our customers and followers to be aware that there are many options to protect your site. There is nothing worse than dealing with a site that has been hacked or completely destroyed. If you would like to learn more or have any questions, please contact us.
