2cafés Let's talk about your website

Webmaster Allier

Webmaster in Allier, based in Bellenaves.

Andrei builds, takes over and maintains WordPress websites from Bellenaves, between Gannat and Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule. Maintenance runs monthly, with no minimum term or exit fees. The person working on your website answers your questions.

Before resuming

Four points to check before touching the site.

  1. 01

    The domain name: its owner and access or transfer possibilities.

  2. 02

    Hosting and WordPress: the accounts available and the people authorized to intervene.

  3. 03

    The backup: its date, content and the place where it is stored.

  4. 04

    Restore: verify on a copy that the backup is usable, without touching the online site.

Monthly monitoring

What routine maintenance covers.

No minimum contract term: you can cancel whenever you want. Work beyond routine maintenance, such as a redesign, a new page or a shop, requires a quote approved before we start.

  • Hosting

    In France, with the domain name and SSL certificate followed.

  • Updates

    A backup before work, followed by checks of important pages and forms. Riskier changes are prepared on a copy when circumstances allow.

  • Backups

    Regular, and restoration tested on a copy of the site.

  • Security

    An incident predating our support is scoped separately. During support, we investigate the cause and act within the contract's scope; substantial recovery work is approved with you before starting. Response time is not resolution time.

  • Small changes

    Monthly support includes your requests and routine changes. Larger work, such as an online shop or client portal, is scoped separately before any work begins.

  • Direct response

    From the person working on your website, rather than a switchboard.

Tested backup

What a 'tested backup' means.

On the sites we follow, testing a backup means something specific:

  1. we restore the backup to a copy of the website;
  2. verify that the copy is displayed;
  3. the administration is opened;
  4. we control that the images are there;
  5. send the form to see if the message is coming;
  6. We delete the copy. The online site has not been touched.

This checks that the backup can be used. Its date and content remain to be compared to the needs of restoration on the day of an incident.

Creation, follow-up or emergency

If your site is online and poorly tracked, the monthly monitoring Enough. If you don't have a site yet and you're a craftsman or a trader, look at the local tradesperson's business website. If the site is broken today, go directly through the page WordPress emergency support.

The first month

Taking over a site, in order.

  1. 01

    The access inventory

    Registrar, hosting, WordPress administration, mailboxes, Google accounts. The necessary access to the intervention is identified and the access to be recovered.

  2. 02

    Initial assessment

    WordPress version, abandoned plugins, custom theme code, certificate, speed and forms. We tell you what is urgent, what can wait and what is not worth repairing.

  3. 03

    The first backup tested

    Before any updates. That's where we find out if the site is recoverable, and it's better to know that that day than six months later.

  4. 04

    Updates

    Only afterwards, once we have a copy that can be restored.

In practice

They trusted us with their websites.

Frequently asked questions

What people often ask us.

Can we meet?

Andrei can meet you around Bellenaves: Gannat, Saint-Pourçain, Ébreuil and Vichy. We do not have an office for appointments. Further away, we use video calls with screen sharing, which is more efficient than an hour's drive.

You only work in Allier?

No, we also have clients in Lyon and Paris. Your request is handled by someone who knows your website.

What if I want to leave?

You leave with the domain, files and database. No exit fees.

My former service provider is no longer responding. Where to start?

By access: domain name, hosting, site administration. We help you get them back before you touch the site, so that everything is in your name.

My site is down now, what do I do?

Call rather than write, or go through the WordPress emergency page, which lists what to send us.
