Your Website is a Foundational Part of Your Business
Your website is the face of your business. It attracts customers and revenue (or at least it should). It's a channel through which your customers, suppliers, potential new staff, and peers will find you and interact with you. It is fundamental to the success of your business. You want peace of mind that it is functioning at all times without interruption.
All Software Is Vulnerable
Software needs updating. All software. Including the software that powers your website. Healthy websites are a reflection of a healthy business. A healthy website requires a certain amount of ongoing maintenance and a WordPress powered website is no exception. WordPress is continually evolving, offering improved services, security updates, new features, and fixes. It is important that regular care and updating are provided in order to keep your website functioning properly, looking its best, and able to serve your audience.

Handle It Yourself?
Keeping your website up to date can be time consuming and a little nerve wracking. Every once in a while an update can cause something to break. If you decide to handle this yourself, it may stress you out and it will definitely take you away from your focus, which is building your business. The technology continues to evolve and there is no way that someone who does not work in the field can easily keep abreast of all the trends and developments.
Generic Help
Yes, there are many options for you to keep your website managed and up to date by larger companies. They do it for thousands of customers every day. That means they are experienced, but it also means that they might not be paying attention to the details of your particular website and to the needs of your business.
