What to Know Before You Hand Over the Keys to Your Website
Manage episode 518841076 series 3468380
I’ve seen it too many times:
A business owner hires someone cheap to fix their site or “just update a plugin,” and everything breaks.
Or worse?
They get hacked—because the person they trusted didn’t follow secure practices.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really happens when you hand your website over to the wrong support.
I’ll share stories from over 20 years in the industry—plus the red flags to watch for, and how to find support that won’t just fix problems but prevent them in the first place.
