Your website should have a big impact

A cutting edge WordPress website can do a lot for your business. WordPress websites are capable of doing a lot of work for you, much more than a content management system. It generates leads, customers and revenue. WordPress websites built/modified with a combination of digital marketing know-how and developer skills are much more than a channel through which customers, suppliers, potential new staff and partners will find you and engage with you.

Most unaware of what is possible

Most business owners, managers and marketing professionals are not aware of what is possible, what can be automated and built-in to a WordPress website, especially in the case of niche, smaller high-end businesses or professional practices.

Peace of mind

Whether your website is fundamental to the success of your business as your online shop or is little more than your brand image online with contact forms, you deserve the peace of mind that it will be available for your audience 24/7 without interruption. You don't need the drama and hassle that comes along with a website crash and restoration.

All software is vulnerable

Software needs updating to stay secure and take advantage of technology advances. The unfortunate truth is that all software is vulnerable, including the software that powers your website. More and more websites are getting hacked and attacked, including the big players like Twitter and Facebook as well as millions of small businesses every day.

Website built, job done

This is one of the biggest misconceptions ever. The need to constantly maintain a website has always been the case; it's definitely not something new. Website designers and developers don't and didn't talk about this because it would turn customers away. From an industry insider's perspective, most website design is all about getting the job done and getting away from the client's post-live requests. This is fact you should understand.

If you are under the assumption that your WordPress website doesn't need constant care, you are gravely mistaken. If someone or some organization is taking care of your WordPress website well, you are probably underestimating what they do and your website has been running without a hitch.

Do it yourself?

Keeping your website up to date, backed up, secure and consistently bringing in new leads can be a time consuming and tedious process. In most cases, without external support, DIY WordPress websites malfunction and soon become a burden, if not a hinderance. We've seen it all. The technology and strategies continue to evolve and it's much more than a single full time job to keep abreast of all the trends and developments. Haven't you noticed there don't seem to be many "Webmasters" around anymore? One person just can't do the job.

Take advantage of new integrations

Someone is always innovating (or maybe leading the way) with new websites and online strategies. There are tens of thousands of companies contributing to WordPress. Everyone of those companies is constantly working on their contribution, releasing new versions all the time - this is the nature of applications, software, operating systems, the nature of the development cycle. If Apple or Microsoft waited until their operating systems were ready, we still wouldn't have personal computers - personal computers that were not even connected to each other in any way and only shared information through floppy disks. Think about that for a moment, before reading on.

It was only been a few years since we've heard anyone say they didn't need a website. Well, in those few years while everyone got their website, the pace of change hasn't slowed down. Any website that is more than 18 months old and hasn't had significant changes and integrations of the full range of additions available to WordPress websites, is nothing more than an online billboard, no matter how slick it may look.

'Mobile First'

Most people don't really understand what 'Mobile First' means, let alone having heard much about it. Responsive design was all the rage a couple of years ago. You probably have a responsive website, only massive websites (think Facebook) need a separate mobile version, which in all reality only the doorstep of a mobile app. Remember when everyone told you to get a mobile app? How ridiculous that was. So what does 'Mobile First' mean? In response to mobile (phones and tablets) Internet use via mobile devices being more than through computers (desktops and laptops), websites need to do much more than just be responsive (adjust to device). This is not so much a change in website design technology as it is a change in approach. In the past, website design was based on a computer's display and responsive code adjusted display to suit each device at the time. Have a look at your website on your phone and have a look at your website on a laptop to see the difference.

Keeping up to speed

Mobile First encompasses website design from a mobile device display in the first case with two major points of focus: 1. beautiful appearance; 2. fast download speed even on 3G wireless networks and devices. Responsive technologies, as always, adjust website display to suit device viewing at the time. There is a very big difference between Mobile First website design and design of the past. If your website is slow on mobile, visitors don't wait for it, and they don't come back. Adjusting your current WordPress website so that it is Mobile First is something else we do at LYNX in the Webmaster Package.

The Biggest Change to WordPress

You can't blame WordPress for all the things that are going wrong with WordPress configurations at the moment. The Bill Evens 4.8 Core Upgrade demands the support of PHP 7 - think of PHP 7 as the operating system of WordPress websites. WordPress is an application with any extensions, addons and more, including themse. Plugins, themes and the like are a being abandoned by developers are astonishing rates. That's because they can't just tweak their application to make it work with 4.8 their apps don't run on 4.8. We are only going to use the PHP 7 Compatibility Plugin to turn out your report. It's not much use on its own. You may have 30 of your installation that needs alternative for 30 of your installation, and make sure that all runs smoothly. This is something that we know how to deal with, because based on years made up of many hours. There's certainly no manual for changing a website from one site currently running with, well already, legacy environments, but it is a great time to go mobile first too.
