This is a question we hear all the time from new clients. Is WordPress Maintenance Important? Without being too cliche the short answer is, “Are oil changes important?” They are sort of the same thing and are grouped into similar categories — maintenance.
WordPress is an iterative Content Management System, the same as WordPress Plugins, WordPress Themes and other related technology. Versions are finished, shipped, released and then updated. The process is never ending and it is meant to be this way. New features are added, old code is deprecated and security vulnerabilities are banished.
When a professional performs maintenance on your WordPress site they are basically giving your site an oil change or a doctor’s checkup. We make sure all site files (theme and database) are backed up. We install the latest version of WordPress to give access to new features and secure your site. Theme files and plugins are updated (as needed) to ensure everything is safe secure and runs smoothly.
So, when you ask, Is WordPress Maintenance Important? The answer is Yes. The longer answer is Very.
While I’ve known Greg for years from our time together in the marketing scene, I’ve only recently had the chance to work with Trinity Web Media on a client project. Not only was the team professional and their work spot on, they were amazingly quick to respond and required very little hand-holding along the way. I chalk that up to their past experience and a deep understanding of best-in-class services.
I have hired Greg and the Trinity team multiple times for work on my own websites, and have also hired them to work on behalf of multiple clients. He is simply a pleasure to work with, in every respect. Smart but without the giant ego of some developers, Trinity Web Media works with his clients to achieve their vision in the best way possible — with careful attention to their interests, and thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise. • Susan Baier – Founding Marketing Strategist – Audience Audit
