Security update: Your website is being protected

On 21 October, critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology behind WordPress and many other websites, required urgent action across the hosting industry.

Castlegate IT worked closely with our hosting providers to prepare for the necessary security updates. Importantly, our hosting partners and Cloudflare implemented additional firewall protections before the security patches were released, helping to protect websites against attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The necessary patches have now been applied across our main managed hosting environments. A small number of legacy environments remain protected by additional firewall measures while their updates are completed.

No action is required from our clients. We continue to monitor the situation and manage the necessary security measures on their behalf.

We’re hiring a talented website designer!

We’re looking for a talented graphic designer to join us and help make beautiful, accessible and useable websites.

If you’ve got a natural flair for design, a strong creative streak, some experience of web design, and like working with clients to turn their ideas, aspirations or brands into beautiful pixels, then we’d love to hear from you.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive team in a small but ambitious web development company that already has a huge portfolio of satisfied clients. We hope to be expanding our design and development team in future years, so this is your chance to get in early and grow with us. Supported by our existing designer/developers, you’ll learn all about user experience (UX), accessibility, web standards and SEO as you develop within the company.

Note: applications for this role have now closed.
