Your new website is complete: what happens next?
Congratulations on your successful website launch! Now that your new WordPress site is live, you have two clear paths forward for ongoing maintenance and management, ensuring your site remains secure, fast, and up-to-date.
Option 1: Complete Self-Management
(We Hand Over the Keys)
With WordPress, you have the flexibility to manage your website yourself after the initial build, giving you full control going forward.
To support you, we provide a free Quick Guide to Safely Updating Your WordPress Website (step-by-step + Video). Keeping your website updated is essential for security and optimal performance— Here is an explanation of why WordPress websites need maintenance.
MalCare website security service:
During our website build process and/or during our website maintenance service, we included a premium MalCare Malware prevention and removal service, to keep your site safe and protected. Now that we’ve completed our service, the complimentary premium MalCare will now be removed. To maintain this recommended protection, you have the following choices:
- Purchase a 12-month MalCare license directly from us for from R3,099.25 (incl VAT).
- Purchase a license directly from MalCare.
- Go on a monthly web maintenance plan with us (A premium MalCare subscription is included in all of our managed services from R695 p/m ex vat).
Learning to Make Edits:
While WordPress is designed for self-management, making edits still requires a little time for learning. You can utilize free resources by searching for “Salient Theme WordPress Tutorials” on YouTube. Alternatively, we offer personalized video training as an extra service to help you confidently manage your content.
If you choose this option, we will share full administrative access to the backend with you immediately.
