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.

S Smith & Co Accountants

Scunthorpe’s leading accountants and business advisors, S Smith & Co provides a full range of accounting and financial services. Catering for businesses of all sizes, the company has built up a strong client base in the North Lincolnshire area by championing honesty and exceptional personal service.

The brief

S Smith & Co required a new modern website which would enable them to better attract new clients. We were also asked to provide SEO treatment in order to help them stand out in a crowded market.

The website

Using the existing logo as a starting point, we designed an engaging, modern website. Bespoke photography of the team presents S Smith & Co as an approachable, friendly and honest business; while a range of different contact options make it easy for prospective clients to get in touch. We carefully organised the information on the site: visitors can select a certain service to find out information about it, or choose their business type to see tailored information.

The result

This website is a great example of what can happen when a client really engages: S Smith and Co have written loads of high-quality copy and regularly update the news section with engaging and useful posts.

S Smith & Co now have a very strong online presence: the new website effectively communicates information on a wide range of services to prospective clients, while an in-depth SEO treatment ensures that the website ranks highly on search engines and reliably generates leads.
