Contractor website in need of a WordPress Rescue?

You’re losing business because customers can’t access your website on mobile

You’ve added new services, but can’t add them to your website

Customers can’t find you on Google because you’re on the 17th page of search results

You can't name your hosting provider

Digital Tradesman has over 10 years of WordPress development and WordPress support / WordPress Rescue experience, assisting contractors throughout North America in keeping their WordPress websites online and functioning optimally.

PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

Technology is constantly evolving. It’s an obvious statement, and the implication is clear: to keep up, your business has to evolve, too. But staying up-to-date with ever-changing technology can be overwhelming for many. All it takes is one piece of outdated technology or your website vendor closing shop to prevent your system from communicating efficiently.

When WordPress came along, many hailed it as the “be-all and end-all” of open source technology. Yes, WordPress is easier to customize and maintain than older technologies (like websites built in Flash) but the pitfalls can be just as great.

WordPress still needs to be updated and customized to work seamlessly with new and changing technologies. And with a turbulent workplace environment—new people constantly coming and going—“solutions” are all too often temporary fixes rather than solid foundations for future growth.

We Specialize In WordPress

What causes issues with a WordPress site?

From our experience, the #1 cause of issues that require a WordPress Rescue is out-dated or broken plugins.

There are over 55,000 approved plugins on WordPress.org, and tens of thousands more available on various places on the internet.

Plugins generally work well when they are first developed, but they can become outdated as the WordPress core updates, and even become security issues that are easily exploited by hackers.

Examples of issues or changes done on WordPress websites as part of a WordPress Rescue:

  • Fix of WordPress website errors.
  • Changing the layout of a site's content area to make the site look more attractive to website visitors.
  • Getting broken / hacked WordPress websites back online.
  • Migration of WordPress sites from one hosting platform to another.
  • Fixing or replacing broken plugins to ensure that all content is easy for your website visitors to access.
  • Add of new features to a WordPress website to encourage customer engagement and drive more warm leads to the website owner.
  • Find and remove any malicious code that may have been added to your WordPress website.

WEB DESIGNER A GHOST?

Everyone knows someone who had a bad website experience. Over the years we have heard people talk about it taking months just to get a coming soon page up. Sadly it's not uncommon for a designer to take a deposit for the project and never hear from the person again… Web people are flaky, it's a problem.

What if you can’t get ahold of your web person?

Half the new clients that come to us say this in the first meeting. This is our norm, but there are things that make this a sticky situation. Mostly with finding logins.

Ideally, you the business owner have the login to your domain Registar (hopefully at a tier 1 domain company like Godaddy, Network Solutions, or Domain.com) You need this to Point the domain to new hosting or email services.

The domain is the top-level login, and if you can’t log in to an account and see your domain name or a settings area with the domain in it, you might not actually have control of your own domain.

Everything should be in the business owners name

Sometimes it's easier for a web person to just set up all these accounts for you. The problem is when they use a reseller account, or don’t hand over the logins before they disappear.

3 Important logins contractors should have

  • Domain name login
  • Web hosting login
  • Website admin login (if the site has a backend edit area)

Domain wrangling

There are times when we need to help find what accounts are holding these domains, or help tracking down company phone numbers to help us regain control of a website. This is where we come in. If you want some help wrangling some of your web entities, contact us.
