NEW MEDIA DESIGN / SECURITY & MAINTENANCE PLANS

OVERVIEW

Hackers will target ANY website for a variety of reasons. Just because you have a small business or relatively simple site doesn't mean you are immune from attacks and disruptions of your website.

Sites that are under attack can perform slowly or go offline and been unavailable, or even worse, be taken over by hackers and used to infect your web visitors computers and / or steal their personal information.

New Media Design offers comprehensive security plans to protect your site and keep it running at its best. Our service starts with an initial examination of your WordPress site, plus the addition of firewall protection and backup services. Our yearly maintenance plan includes monthly backups along with constant firewall protection, security scans of your site, and monitoring of any hacker instrusions. We also offer plans for non-WordPress sites and custom systems we have developed for our clients.

We worry about the security and performance of your site so you don't have to! If hackers have already infiltrated and taken your site down, we offer restoration services to get it back up as quickly as possible.

What's Covered

Your website system installation, as well as your WordPress installation (depending on the plan you selected), is covered by the above plans. We will perform the tasks described above on a monthly basis to keep your site secure and performing at its best. This prevents most sites from being hacked or exploited. If despite these measures your site is hacked, we will offer you a substancially discounted rate for recovery services. Note that these plans do not cover your computer or other devices, your email account or other online accounts, or anything not directly related to your website system and/or WordPress installations. Our plan also does not cover your webhosting, which is dependent upon the webhosting company you selected.
