Website security and damaged site repair

Lately we had a few orders here in Marbella to repair compromised Wordpress sites therefore we have rolled up a new service to review and fix website security. While cleaning the sites we have determined that all of them were compromised due to outdated open source content manager or one of its plugins.

The problem with open source is that the programming code of the manager is available to the public so whenever new security update becomes available with its documented security issues – all sites not yet updated become in risk of being compromised.

Smooth Step offers Wordpress web design Marbella including managed website updates, website security analysis and compromised website cleanup services, also spam protection for contact forms, SHA password protection and SSL encryption to secure connection between client and server.
