Taking Care of Your Website

A website isn’t something that you just build and then forget about it. A website that is actually going to help your business grow over time is something that you always have to be working on.

For example, if you have a WordPress website, you have to run plugin, theme and WordPress core updates on a weekly basis so that you have all of the new available features and that your website is secure.

Plus, you also need to make sure that your content is fresh and up-to-date. Have you hired a new team member? Make sure that their information is on your team page, if you have once. Has your business moved locations or changed the hours of operation? Make sure that information is correct on your website so people know where and when to go.

This learning journey will walk you through everything you need to know for how to manage your website so that it helps your business grow.
