Secure my website

Security is a strange tool. When you use it, nothing special seems to happen. There isn’t the same level of gratification as launching your website to the world, opening a new online store, or increasing your social post views.

But security is just as important. Without it, all of those amazing things can be taken away from you with no easy way of getting them back.

Take some time, go through the topics on this page, and learn how a small investment of your time now can keep the amazing things you are doing safe.
