I am not much of a web developer (if I recall, in about 2004, I borrowed a 'For Dummies' book from the local library and it taught me how to make a basic plain text web page in HTML using Notepad ... the only time I used my parents' computer for anything other than playing Age of Empires 2).
However, in my day-to-day duties I frequently find myself having to go into client sites to do things like configure Google Analytics tracking, Google Tag manager etc.
One thing that astonishes me is how frequently websites are not maintained ... particularly Wordpress sites.
If I had a dollar for every time I was given access to a Wordpress site, logged in, and then found a dozen or so outdated plugins, seriously outdated core files etc, I'd probably be able to afford to upsize to a large combo next time my lack of willpower gets the better of me and I find myself in the McDonald's drive through.
Why am I bringing this up?
Because a hacked website, a compromised website, a website that doesn't work properly because half of the dubious plugins used to hack it together were last updated when Barack Obama was President (in his first term, I might add) ... a website like that isn't exactly going to help your business when it comes to acting as an effective medium for prospective customers to learn about your brand, and inquire and/or purchase.
Make sure you have some form of agreement in place with your developer to keep the site up-to-date, particularly if on Wordpress (I find this to be the worst culprit from my layperson's perspective, based on the number of outdated plugins and files I would see in the average site backend).
I suspect many business owners pay more attention to the servicing and maintenance schedule of the company car(s) than they do their website.
