Are you at risk of being held hostage by your web developer or VA?
All too often, new clients come to us angry, upset and feeling ripped off when their web person has held their website or domain name hostage.
Either the developer is threatening to sue if the client uses the domain name or content, or the client can’t access the assets they totally thought were theirs.
They don’t understand how it happened and are understandably afraid that we are also going to rip them off!
In this Tea Time Tip: Marketing for Busy Entrepreneurs episode I share what you need to watch out for to prevent this costly and stressful issue from happening.

- What’s happening behind the scenes with your website

Is Your Website Safe and Secure?
Being proactive and protecting your website now is so much easier than dealing with the devastation, disruption, and huge costs of a hacked site, lost data, and destroyed Google rankings.
Every website is vulnerable, which is why we're offering you a Security & Maintenance Plan at an amazing discount.
While no plan can guarantee you'll never be hacked, this cutting-edge program comes close. The Security & Maintenance Plan includes:
- Continuous state-of-the-art monitoring and "next-generation application firewall" protection against spam, malware, and other malicious attempts
- Ongoing automatic backups of your site in case it ever needs to be restored
- Site checks for broken images and links so it runs quickly and smoothly
- Regular updates of your WordPress site and plugins for optimal performance and security
- And much more...
While many security and maintenance plans are between $150 to $300 or more per month, we're able to offer you the affordable price of only:
$97 per month, if prepaid every 12 months
$107 per month, if prepaid every 6 months
This is something all website owners should invest in. Not only does it provide your business assets with a layer of protection against numerous attacks, but it also gives you peace of mind knowing if anything should go wrong, your site can be brought back online quickly with minimal hassle.
Send an email or give us a call at 604-855-4643 and let's talk about how investing in this low-cost plan can save you a huge amount of grief and expense in the future.
