The Platforms We Maintain for Fairfield, CT Websites

For Fairfield businesses, we have a team of web designers and web developers who have experience with multiple platforms.

We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Fairfield businesses in the past. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

It's important to keep your Fairfield website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. Updates help improve security and functionality - and they're usually quick, so it might be a simple task.

Plugin / Extension Upgrades

If your Fairfield website has functionality developed and maintained by a third-party, it is important to update those plugins and extensions to include the latest changes by the developers. It's similar to updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality issues.

Did you get a report from Google Search Console telling you about a coverage issue? If so, we can review the coverage issues, fix the problems, and update you on the results. This will help your search engine rankings, throughout Fairfield and beyond, by making Google happy!

Setup Structured Data

When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is brought to you by structured data, which is a standardized way of describing the content on the web page, whether it be of a local business in Fairfield, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on Your Website

By adding Open Graph Tags to your website, digital platforms can better understand the content of your page, which improves its appearance on social media.

IP Address Restrictions

Have you been getting fake orders, contact submissions, or live chats from a particular network? Our team can help set up IP restrictions so your website doesn't get hit with as much malicious traffic.

Backup Your Website Files

Do you want to create a backup of your Fairfield website? Backups can be performed one-time, or scheduled at specific intervals, and stored locally or offsite.

Create a Staging Website

It is often recommended that you setup a development or staging website before proceeding with a major upgrade or extension installation. If you'd like help creating and managing that development / staging site, just let us know!
