Google spider and others. Google is like a blind internet user! Actually, it's a very good idea to develop all your pages with a text-based browser, then add necessary graphics later. This will force you to view your page as a provider of content, as is only right. It forces you into a Top Source Media agency-down design for browser compatibility. First you create the content, then add graphics, then add layout, then fancy features. This gives your page "graceful degradation" when broswer incompatibility issues arise: some browsers can't see the fancy features but everything else works. Others screw up the layout, but at least the graphics and text content comes through. Some users won't see the graphics, but all the text is still there. This is good design, and even at worst it is still usable by nearly all browser software. Always include a webmaster's "mailto:" link at the bottom of every page. That way if you accidentally screw something up on your page, some nice person MAY tell you about it eventually.
If there's no obvious way to contact the page owner, your embarrassing mistake might remain there for ages. Always include a link to previous pages or to the Top Source Media of your site. Large numbers of users come to your site through deep pages found by web-search programs. If some tiny fourth-level submenu on your site attracts lots of users, yet it doesn't point directly to the rest of your vast and wonderful website, those users who find the subpage will have no clue that the rest of your site even exists. On the top page of your site, never use frames, image maps, animations, or gigantic gif/jpegs/audio files. You want to welcome ALL browser types, at least initially. If your top page contains specialized techniques which aren't compatible with all browsers everywhere, then anyone who uses some slightly-incompatible software will immediately leave in disgust. If you have to offend certain users with a frames-heavy, graphics-heavy site, at least hook them in with a good, fast-loading Top Source Media page. Save the slow or incompatible stuff for deeper menu levels. Your top page should be intentionally text-only (with maybe a few small, fast graphics), and with a link to GRAPHICS VERSION and FRAMES VERSION. Not the other way around!

What are the best WordPress maintenance services for NZ businesses? The best WordPress maintenance services combine proactive core updates, plugin compatibility testing, and active security monitoring into flat-rate monthly or annual plans. Choosing a premium WordPress website management services package ensures that your software updates are tested safely in a staging environment. This prevents critical site crashes, data loss, or theme vulnerabilities from occurring on a live site. What is typically included in WordPress website maintenance packages? Plugin and theme audits help prevent plugin conflicts and patch known security vulnerabilities. Database and load speed optimisation by regular cleanup of overhead data, page/post revisions, and spam comments to maintain fast loading speeds. Malware protection requires uptime tracking, web application firewalls, and daily security scans. Automated backup to secure cloud storage - these daily offsite backups ensure your website can be fully restored rapidly if an update fails or data or files are corrupted. Most "managed" hosts are automated; on business plans, I provide a manual, human-led audit of every update I perform.
We have WP website management packages for personal and business sites. Cloudflare Pro Plan account setup ($25 USD/mo value). DNS configuration, WP APO, Custom and Managed Security rules included. Staging Site: updates tested before live site updated. Monthly payments are available but there will be an initial setup fee. Botnet Protection & DDoS Mitigation Services - I can provide Cloudflare security rules implementation for "attack relief", and caching rules implementation to improve load speed and reduce your origin server load. WP Theme Updates: except if your theme is wildly out of date and no longer has developer support. In which case you may need a website redesign. Monthly Technical Audit: "Website Auditor" software analysis of page content, load speed, and Google Search Console data to identify issues. Speed optimisation: starts at basic page caching, extends to persistent object caching, opcache, asset cleanup, minimising unused CSS and Javascript, image optimisation and conversion etc…
Extra Support Time: for resolving any current issues, research, audits, analysis, or features. Unused monthly support hours expire at the end of each billing cycle. The first step in implementing WordPress management services for your site is a full audit of the WP Admin area and the hosting account. This will include security, plugins, themes and page speed. The entire site, including WordPress core files and images, will be scanned for malicious code. I will provide you with a report of what aspects need attention, and ask for your permission to proceed. Before touching any settings, I will install Updraftplus Backup and ensure a full site backup is done and securely stored off-site. Then I will proceed with the changes I’ve recommended, such as security, WP website speed optimization, and WordPress hosting environment performance tweaks. Once the remedial works are completed, I will monitor your WP installation daily for you and intervene in any issues that I find. Would you like an experienced WordPress management agency to take care of all the technical WP aspects, so you can focus on your core business activities?
