The site that brings inyour customers should notbe the way you get hacked.

Marketing sends people to a website. If the site is compromised, the forms are flooded with spam, or the enquiry emails never arrive, the marketing budget is being spent on a broken front door. That is why we treat security and basic IT as part of the same job. This is hands-on work we already do for our own clients, not a reseller package with a dashboard.

What a compromised site actually looks like

Usually nothing, at first. The pages load, the logo is in the right place, and the owner has no idea. Underneath, the footer carries links to pharmacy and gambling domains, extra files sit in folders nobody looks in, and Google has quietly decided the site is untrustworthy. We have cleaned this exact pattern off client sites more than once. The work is the same each time: find every injected file and link, remove it, rotate every password and key that touches the site, close the hole it came through, and then check again a week later, because the first cleanup rarely gets everything.

Forms that reach you, and only you

A contact form with nothing in front of it will be filled in by bots within days. The usual answer is a picture puzzle that punishes real customers. We use a layered approach instead: a hidden field only bots fill in, a timing check that rejects submissions faster than a person could type, Cloudflare Turnstile for a silent bot check, and where it makes sense a geographic filter so a Florida service business is not reading enquiries from three continents. The result is a form your customers do not notice and bots cannot get through.

Email that actually arrives

Form notifications and business email fail for one dull reason more than any other: the domain never told the world who is allowed to send on its behalf. We publish and verify SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, send form mail from the business domain rather than from the visitor, and avoid forwarding chains that break authentication and land mail in junk. Then we test it at Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, because the records being present is not the same as the mail arriving.

Moving hosting without losing rankings

Changing hosts is where sites lose years of search equity, usually to a missed redirect or a certificate that was never issued. We plan the cutover in order: the new site staged and checked, DNS records changed, the security certificate issued and verified, every previously indexed address confirmed to still answer, and the old host kept in place until nothing depends on it. Search Console and analytics are set up before the move so there is a record of what happened, not a guess.

Keeping WordPress from being the problem

Most compromises come through an old plugin, an old PHP version or an admin door left open. We keep core, PHP and plugins current, block the endpoints nobody legitimately uses, keep configuration secrets out of the public web folder, force HTTPS on one canonical address, and set the security headers browsers expect. Where a business does not need WordPress at all, we will say so and rebuild the site as plain static pages, which removes most of the attack surface in one move.

Larger IT and network work

Some clients bring us problems bigger than a website: networks, infrastructure, security tooling. We assess those first, scope them in writing, and staff them with experienced engineers we bring in for the work. Nothing is quoted blind.
