WordPress Website Designer in Berkshire

WordPress has come along way in the last decade, enabling web designer and web developers alike to construct easy to use website with CMS. CMS is short for Content Management System, a back-end framework that allows a client to edit their website with no programming knowledge.

What would cost thousands a decade ago is now expected from web design clients as standard. Once a website is completed by the designer, the end-user can modify and expand their own website with no further implications of cost. What’s more, it is so simple and user friendly that almost anyone can be a web designer

The only drawback to this system is that WordPress is open-source software. In short, this means all of the code for the website is freely available for anyone to sift through and find a weakness in either plugin or actually in the website core. With this information so widely exposed, it has lead WordPress users to fear the evil work of hackers more than ever.

As soon as a new update of WordPress is released, the baddies get to work on finding a way into your website. It may be a brute force attack, a phishing email, a direct attack through the server or even a third-party piece of software such as a plugin or add-on.

On the flip side, the code is also available to the goodies (yay) and this helps vulnerabilities to be found and fixed much quicker than in days of old. This being the reason for so many constant updates of the CMS software.
For this very reason, it is imperative to always have your core software, plugins, and theme as up to date as possible. The longer your site is out of date, the easier it is for a hacker to find a way in.

What would a hacker gain from infiltrating my website? Simply for fun, to gain knowledge, or to show off their skills.
