Carolyn brought her existing website to me in 2019 to make some changes to her site and then provide ongoing website and software maintenance services.
Issue: Investigate reports of fatal errors affecting website performance.
Solution: Replace outdated plugins with newer versions. Replace premium plugins that had expired licenses with free plugins that can perform the same functions.
Issue: Update content to reflect changes in her business.
Solution:
- Delete links to social media accounts that are no longer active.
- Remove outdated blog from website.
- Update location and contact information.
- Fix bad links.
Issue: Improve readability.
Solution: Increase font sizes for headings and content. Change the text color for body content from gray to off-black.
Issue: Find a more affordable web hosting company.
Solution: Recommended web hosting companies with better features, including providing a free Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate. Migrate website to the chosen host.
