Challenge
A utilities technology company depended on its WordPress site for product information and sales enquiries.
Like most sites, it needed constant small attention: WordPress and plugin updates, new landing pages, form changes for the marketing team and the occasional update that had to be reversed.
Approach
We maintained the site for five years with every change recorded.
- Keep the whole site in version control.
- Apply WordPress, theme and plugin updates regularly, and roll back any that caused trouble.
- Build landing page templates and connect forms to the marketing platform.
- Remove features that were no longer used.
- Move the site to managed hosting when the time came.
Result
Over five years the site took 292 recorded updates and stayed current throughout.
- A complete history of the site.
- Marketing requests handled as routine.
- A hosting move without drama.
Our advice
A website is maintained or it decays. A little regular upkeep costs less than a rebuild every three years.
