We’d start with

Web Security & Monitoring

We diagnose the server, clean out malware, restore from backup, then lock the doors behind us with custom login URLs, 2FA and DarkWatch Shield, and keep the site connected to DarkWatch Monitor.

Like we did for Primary Science Programme: Restored the compromised live and development sites, reinstalled the affected plugins as updated versions, replaced the security plugin with SolidWP and updated WordPress core.

We’d start with

WordPress Development

A clean WordPress build on the theme or page builder that suits you, mobile-first and built to WCAG AA.

Like we did for Somali Association of SA: Rebuilt in Divi, recreating 22 pages and importing the blog posts and knowledge base, after a first phase that added an English/Somali resource centre.

We’d start with

Theme & page builder upgrades

Old themes, abandoned plugins and outdated builder versions. We plan the upgrade so nothing breaks on the way.

Like we did for OBSID: Replaced an outdated ThemeForest theme with known security vulnerabilities, and addressed feedback from a City of Cape Town audit.

We’d start with

Platform Migrations

We move blogs, custom post types and donation histories onto WordPress without losing anything on the way.

Like we did for Footprints of Hope: The domain had lapsed and the Portfoliobox site was gone. We recovered the assets and rebuilt it on WordPress.

We’d start with

Maintenance & Care Retainers

A monthly, quarterly or bi-annual care plan: care reports, off-site backups, PHP and database upkeep, and support hours under a clear SLA.

Like we did for CliftonCID: On a quarterly maintenance plan since May 2024, with emergencies resolved quickly.

See retainer options → Read the case study

Every site we maintain has the same protections.

Every site we maintain has compulsory 2FA and is connected to DarkWatch Monitor, including this one.
