Content Management Systems

Website Support

In September of 2017 I received an email from Matt Grace of Grace Engineering, a consumer products company in the hunting industry. The company was looking for someone to support their 3 WordPress websites, g5prime.com, g5outdoors.com and questbowhunting.com.

In addition to standard content and system updates, I’ve assisted with several projects including:

Quest Sales Force
A rewards system for Dealers selling the popular Quest Bows. Developing this system included research, installation and customization of several plugins (BuddyPress, myCRED, Remove Dashboard Access and rtMedia)

Store Locator Plus
Identified and installed the Power addon as the preferred method of updating dealer locator systems for all 3 sites

Website Security

WordPress is used by 60.7% of all the websites whose content management system we know. This is 23.0% of all websites. So it’s no surprise that WordPress sites have become targets for attacks. Denial of service and SQL code injection are two of the most common hacker techniques. If your site is hosted with a reputable company and your developers are proactive, website security is definitely possible.

Update!
Do you know what version of WordPress you are running? One of the easiest ways to keep your website safe is to apply critical security releases. The process is very simple and takes only about 15 minutes.
Secure Server Files and Database
Every directory and file on your server has permissions assigned to it. Developers can set these permissions to ensure access is locked down appropriately.
