Law Firm Website Maintenance

Websites Don’t Take Care of Themselves

That shiny new law firm website you just launched? It’s already aging. WordPress releases updates. Plugins need patches. Security vulnerabilities pop up weekly. Hackers run automated bots looking for outdated sites to exploit.

Most attorneys don’t think about their website until something goes wrong. Then it’s a Friday afternoon emergency. Your site is down. A hearing is Monday. Potential clients are landing on an error page and calling someone else.

Regular maintenance prevents those emergencies. It keeps your site fast, secure, and working the way it should. It costs a fraction of what you’d pay for emergency repairs after something breaks.

What Happens When You Skip Maintenance

Security Breaches: Outdated WordPress installations are a hacker’s favorite target. They inject malware, redirect visitors to spam sites, or hold your data hostage. Google flags your site as dangerous. Visitors see warning screens. Your reputation takes a hit that’s hard to undo.

Slow Load Times: Databases get bloated. Image files pile up. Plugins conflict with each other. Your site slows to a crawl. Visitors bounce. Google notices and drops your search rankings. The leads you worked hard to attract go to faster competitors.

Broken Features: Contact forms stop sending emails. Click-to-call buttons break on certain phones. Chat widgets disappear. You don’t notice until a potential client mentions they tried to reach you three times.

Compatibility Issues: Browser updates change how websites display. A site that looked perfect last year might render incorrectly today. Mobile devices release new screen sizes. Without testing and updates, your site starts looking broken to more and more visitors.

What Our Maintenance Plans Include

WordPress Core Updates WordPress releases regular updates for performance, features, and security. We apply them promptly and test to make sure nothing breaks in the process.

Plugin and Theme Updates: Your site runs on dozens of plugins. Each one needs regular updates. We handle them all, checking for conflicts and ensuring everything works together smoothly.

Security Monitoring: We monitor your site for malware, suspicious activity, and unauthorized access attempts. When threats emerge, we respond before damage spreads.

Daily Backups: If the worst happens, you need a recent backup to restore from. We run daily backups and store them securely offsite. Your site can be back online quickly instead of rebuilt from scratch.

Uptime Monitoring: We check your site around the clock. If it goes down, we know immediately and start fixing it before you even notice. No more finding out from a client that your website isn’t working.

Performance Optimization: Databases get cleaned. Caches get cleared. Images get compressed. We keep your site running fast so visitors stick around and Google rewards you with better rankings.

SSL Certificate Management: That padlock icon in the browser bar matters. We make sure your SSL certificate stays current so visitors see a secure connection, not a scary warning.
