As a reminder it’s important to be backing up your website. Make sure you have a service in place that does daily, weekly and month back-ups. Back-up services often over-writing all back-ups. Keep a monthly back-up on a local machine.
Your website is very important to your business so keep it safe!
Please call if you need any help, want to join our web maintenance program or have any questions. If you are updating your site yourself, make sure you take a local back-up first and test well afterwards.
