Avoiding Digital Neglect: How to Protect Your Website Before It Breaks

Jeremy Francis

Jeremy Francis

It’s easy to forget your website once it’s up and running—but that “set it and forget it” mindset can leave you exposed. We’ve seen too many great businesses get sidelined by hacks, outdated software, or performance slowdowns that could’ve been prevented. Here’s how to avoid becoming a cautionary tale and keep your site healthy and humming.

Outline:

  • The quiet risks of website neglect (real, anonymized examples)
  • What hackers look for in vulnerable sites
  • The importance of updates, backups, and monitoring
  • Performance slowdowns = real revenue loss
  • What proactive maintenance looks like
  • CTA: Ask us about our maintenance and security plans

You Understand Business Owners

“I see you guys differently now. Not just as web and SEO guys. I see the real-world experience behind what you do. You’re not just good at marketing — you understand business owners. That changes things.”

A pleasure to work with

I worked directly with Jeremy and he has been a pleasure to work with. It’s obvious that he’s an expert with site speed optimization and WordPress. He checks his work and is very careful to make sure the site he is working on is safe from unexpected downtime. We will be hiring him for future projects with no hesitation.

Within a week my phone was ringing with potential new clients

You can be one of the best attorneys in your practice area but without clients you have no money. I spoke with Keith and he took the time to explain what we needed to do and helped me lay out a roadmap to getting new clients. Jeremydesigned and built me a website with all the bells and whistles in record time. Within a week my phone was ringing with potential new clients!

Nothing Short of Fantastic

Working with Strategic Digital Agency has been nothing short of fantastic.  They were extremely accessible through the entire process of building my website, and answered any question that I had for them.  Jeremy designed everything to my exact specifications, and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product.  Everything looks extremely professional, and I would recommend Strategic Digital Agency for any project that you need done!

Very knowledgeable with cutting edge ideas

SDA has been great to work with creating a whole new website for Pinetop Lakes Golf & Country Club. They had wonderful ideas and put together not only 1 but 2 websites that interacted with each other. One for our golf shop and one for the restaurant. They not only took professional pictures but a purchased a drone to take video of each of the holes. They worked with our point of sale company to incorporate member access along with public access for tee times. A reservation system was created for the restaurant. Jeremy is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable with cutting edge ideas. SDA trained our staff and was available and willing to help if any issues occurred. [The fact that they are out of state…] was not a deterrent of their attention, although I really enjoyed when they came out on site.

I really don’t know where we’d be without you

A friend of mine sent me an email last night –“Wow, your redo of the website looks great!!”  What?

Hilary and I both opened it up and  our friend was right.  It looks fantastic!   Great job and thank you so much for your hard (more than hard?)  work on this.   It is so well organized, very clear what the site is all about and so much easier to navigate and access stories.   I really like the intros you created to some of the key stories—excellent thumbnails.    I think this will be so much easier for new visitors. Now, if we can only keep the mafia away.

Thank you for joining our team—I really don’t know where we’d be without you.

Warm regards , humble thanks, and blessings
