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.

Towngate Plc

Towngate Plc are leading commercial and industrial property experts that have been leasing high-quality spaces to clients in the North of England for over 60 years.

The challenge

Towngate Plc were struggling with a dated website that didn’t represent their modern and innovative brand image. The old site was also causing them to miss out on potential leads because it did not offer obvious or attractive ways of getting in touch.

The solution

The new website makes a strong first impression, showing off the breadth of Towngate Plc’s portfolio, promoting their partners and highlighting their green credentials. We streamlined the navigation system to make it more user-friendly.

Clear and compelling calls to action give interested customers multiple ways to start a conversation. To further encourage engagement, an eye-catching “find a property” form follows the visitor up and down the site as they browse.

The new website also gives Towngate Plc the opportunity to increase their visibility by capitalising on organic search with location-specific landing pages.

From inception to launch, it has been a pleasure working with Castlegate on the construction of our new website. A dedicated, helpful team who listened to our vision and what we wanted to achieve, while always offering their wealth of knowledge and expertise to ensure the desired outcome.

All requests made were dealt with in a timely manner with the reassurance that they were always at the end of the phone if needed. We are extremely proud of our new website and how it represents us as a company and would not hesitate to recommend Castlegate.

The results

  • Towngate Plc now have a web presence that does justice to their reputation and credentials
  • The new website helps Towngate Plc stay competitive by showing that they are an up-to-date business, who are invested in the future
  • The website supports Towngate Plc’s marketing goals, by increasing the likelihood that their prospects will get in touch and become warm leads
