The Platforms We Maintain for Bristol, CT Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Bristol small businesses, who have been immersed in multiple site platforms over the years. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our website support company for Bristol websites tends to service only the following platforms:

• Bristol WordPress Website Maintenance
• Bristol WooCommerce Web Support
• Bristol Shopify Website Support

In the past, we provided web maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Bristol businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our website maintenance consultants could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Keeping your Bristol website's content management system updated is important if it's running on WordPress. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!

IP Address Restrictions

Have you been getting fake orders, contact submissions, or live chats from a particular network? We can help setup IP restrictions to prevent malicious traffic from interacting with your website.

Create Website Backups

Would you like a backup of your Bristol website? Let us help you create one-time or scheduled backups that you can store locally or offsite.
