Website Security
Most website attacks are automated and aimed at known weaknesses: outdated plugins, weak passwords, and missing updates. We close those gaps and watch for the rest.

What this covers
Small business sites get attacked not because someone chose them, but because bots scan the whole internet for easy targets. A hacked site can redirect visitors to scams, send spam from your domain, get flagged by Google with a warning screen, and expose customer data.
Our security work covers the basics that stop most attacks: up-to-date software, removal of unused plugins and accounts, two-factor login for every admin, least-privilege access, a web application firewall in front of the site, and off-site backups. We add monitoring for file changes, uptime, and blocklist status.
If your site has already been hacked, we clean it, find out how the attacker got in, close that door, and request removal from Google's and browsers' warning lists.
Is this right for you?
You'll get the most out of it if any of these sound familiar:
- Your site has been hacked before, or shows signs of it now.
- Google or your browser shows a security warning on your site.
- Plugins and software haven't been updated in months.
- Many people share the same admin login.
What you get
Included in a typical engagement:
- Security audit
- Software updates and removal of unused components
- Two-factor login and access review

How it works
Hardening usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. If a site is already infected, cleanup is handled as urgent work and scheduled first.
Audit
We check software versions, users, permissions, hosting, and existing defenses.
Harden
Updates, access cleanup, firewall rules, and secure settings.
Monitor
Alerts for file changes, downtime, and blocklisting.
Respond
If something happens, we contain, clean, and close the entry point.
What affects the price
Every quote is fixed and written down before work starts. These are the things that move it:
- Platform and number of plugins
- Current condition of the site
- Active infection versus prevention
- Ongoing monitoring
Mistakes we plan around
The problems we see most often when this work is rushed:
- Cleaning malware without finding how the attacker got in.
- Shared admin logins with no two-factor authentication.
- Backups stored on the same server that was compromised.
Website Security questions
How do I know if my website has been hacked?
Common signs include Google security warnings, redirects to unfamiliar sites, new admin users you didn't create, unexpected pages in search results, and complaints about spam from your domain.
Can you fix a hacked WordPress site?
Yes. We remove the malware, patch the vulnerability that let it in, reset credentials, and request removal from Google's warning lists.
Is Shopify more secure than WordPress?
Shopify handles server security for you, which removes a lot of risk. You still need strong passwords, two-factor login, and careful choice of apps.
Do we need a firewall?
A web application firewall blocks a large share of automated attacks before they reach your site. Cloudflare offers one at a low cost.
