Our Website Update Process
Release Monitoring
We monitor release channels for your CMS, framework, plugins, and dependencies. Security releases are flagged for immediate action. Feature releases are evaluated for compatibility and benefit before scheduling.
Staging Deployment
Updates are applied to your staging environment where we test critical pages, forms, checkout flows, integrations, and any custom functionality. We verify that the update does not introduce regressions.
Production Deployment
After staging verification, we deploy to production during low-traffic periods. We create a pre-update backup, apply the update, and run a post-deployment verification checklist to confirm everything is working.
Post-Update Verification
We monitor your site for 24 hours after each update deployment, watching for errors, performance changes, or functionality issues. Any problems are addressed immediately with rollback capability.
Key Benefits
Always current software
Your CMS, plugins, frameworks, and dependencies stay on the latest stable versions. Security patches are applied promptly. Feature updates are evaluated and deployed when beneficial. Your site never falls behind into the vulnerability window that attackers exploit.
Staging-tested deployments
Every update is applied to a staging environment first. We run compatibility checks, test critical functionality, and verify that nothing breaks before the update reaches your production site. No more crossing your fingers and clicking update.
Documented update history
Every update we apply is documented with the version numbers, date, what changed, and any issues encountered. If a problem ever surfaces, we have a complete audit trail and can roll back to a known good state immediately.
