Investing in website support for your nonprofit is one of the best ways to future-proof your website and provide an insurance policy for your organization should anything go wrong. We like to compare owning a website to owning a car: it needs regular support and maintenance to ensure it’s secure, reliable, and stable.
Want to make sure your site stays up-to-date, but don’t want to worry about it in-house? Let us run regular system and security updates and backups for you so you can spend more time focusing on your content and mission!

How Your Nonprofit Can Benefit From Website Support
It’s a lot easier and less stressful to perform regular maintenance than it is to deal with website outages, slowness, hacking, or site errors. Here are a few benefits of investing in website support from Cornershop Creative’s experts:
Protection from Security Threats
Security is the most important reason for keeping your site updated. If a plugin has a vulnerability, you open up your entire website and the data it holds to potential hackers. If you store any sensitive information in your database, this could be a major issue and cause concerns for your organization.
Website Performance You Can Count On
Keeping your website updated means that your site will be more reliable for your users, ensuring that your website is stable and running the latest and most up-to-date code. If your website is running older code, it may start running slower, have more server outages, and possibly result in regular crashes.
Enhanced User Experience
Website maintenance isn’t all about security and stability. It’s also about providing a great web navigation experience and relevant and reliable information. If your website content is outdated, hard to use, and doesn’t show the dynamic work of your organization, then visitors and donors will likely be turned off.
A Website That Works For Your Mission
With a solid website and a team of digital strategy experts in your corner, we can work together to optimize your website into a tool that helps you accomplish organizational goals.
Save Time and Energy
When you don’t have to waste precious time and energy worrying about updates to your website, you can focus on your nonprofit’s mission and the good work that you’re doing to make the world a better place.
