What is a Content Update?

A “Content Update” is adding or removing text, images, or other media from your site.  For example, a graphic designer may have a gallery of past work and needs their most recent portfolio added to the site. 

What is a Minor Update?  Major Update?

WordPress will occasionally update its software.  This requires maintenance on sites built in WordPress to ensure usability remains intact across the most common browsers and devices.  A “minor” update (for example, version 6.6.2 to 6.6.3) typically involves smaller changes.  Larger changes and functionality enhancements are captured in “major” updates (for example, version 6.6.2 to 6.7.0).  Keeping on top of updates ensures your site remains operating as you intend it for users of the most common browsers and devices. 

What is an Online Presence Review?

Although it’s a great start, having an effective online presence goes beyond having a beautifully designed website that is regularly maintained.  Your personal and professional brand is represented through numerous online channels, such as social media, review sites, and search engine results.  HostPoppy’s website experts have decades of experience helping individuals and businesses put their best foot forward across the totality of the internet.  In your Online Presence review will, we help your personal brand shine with a thorough and complete consultation.

Can I enroll my site built by another developer in a Maintenance Plan?

Website Maintenance plans are exclusively tailored for sites built by HostPoppy.  If you need maintenance or updates on a site built by another web developer, we are happy to help through our Hourly Web Developer Program.
