In today’s digital world, 88% of small businesses in the UK have a website, and e-commerce accounts for 38% of the country’s total retail market. But the real question is: how many of these websites are properly maintained? And how many are at risk of failure?

A recent study found that only 6% of the UK’s 5.6 million websites are fully updated, while 47% are entirely outdated. This lack of upkeep has led to a sharp rise in cyber threats, from phishing attacks to ransomware, with the average cost of a data breach exceeding £10,000.

A website should never hinder your business or expose it to security risks. That’s where we come in. Our team specializes in professional website management, ensuring your site is secure, up-to-date, and optimized for the best user experience.

Our approach to website management is built on three key pillars: website security, website maintenance, and content updates & enhancements.

Security is a top priority, as a compromised website can lead to data loss, reputational damage, and financial consequences. To protect against threats, we continuously monitor activity logs, track failed login attempts, and implement security measures that detect and block unauthorized access. This means that if someone repeatedly tries to force their way into your site, our systems will automatically lock them out, preventing any further attacks. Additionally, contact forms are often targeted by spam bots, flooding inboxes with irrelevant messages. To prevent this, we implement custom security solutions that filter out spam submissions and keep communication channels clean. Regular backups and system updates are also part of our process, ensuring that data remains safe and that your website can be restored quickly if needed.

Beyond security, ongoing maintenance is crucial for a website to function efficiently. We conduct routine software updates, including CMS platforms, plugins, and extensions, to prevent vulnerabilities and ensure smooth operation. Any outdated or broken elements on the front end are identified and fixed promptly. Before any changes go live, we test and debug everything on a staging server—a secure testing environment that allows us to catch and resolve issues before they impact the real website. This ensures that every update is seamless and problem-free.

While content management systems allow website owners to update text and images themselves, certain changes require more technical expertise. Our team helps implement new features, custom integrations, and structural enhancements to improve the overall user experience. Whether you need a new module or an interactive feature, we design and develop custom solutions to fit your needs. If content formatting issues arise, such as images appearing incorrectly or text layouts breaking, we troubleshoot and correct them to maintain a polished, professional look.

A well-managed website is more than just a digital storefront, it is a crucial part of your business’s success. Without proper upkeep, even the best-designed websites can become slow, vulnerable, and outdated. At Websure, we take a proactive approach to website management, ensuring that your site is always secure, functional, and optimized. With our expertise, you can focus on growing your business while we handle the technical side, keeping your website running smoothly and effectively.
