What looking after a travel website involves
14 November 2026
The work continues after launch
A travel website is not finished at launch. Its plugins age, its server software moves on, and spam finds its forms. Trekkers Paradise and its sister safari company have had the same care from us since we took them on.
Regular updates
We keep WordPress and its plugins up to date. In 2026 we upgraded PHP, the language the sites run on. We chose a version supported with security fixes at the time.
Fixing what breaks
When an old trip plugin stopped working, we replaced it. When spam reached the safari site’s contact form, we added a spam check.
A backup before any risky change
Before a change that could go wrong, we back up the database. We did so before removing a second search plugin the owner had added, so the site could be put back if the removal broke something.
Checked live, then reported
Each change is checked on the live site before the owner hears it is done. Ask whoever looks after your site the same question: how do they know a change worked?
Is anyone looking after your website? Tell us what it runs on.
A few lines are enough. We reply with our first questions within an hour, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Nepal time.
