A clear maintenance contract should state which activities are included and excluded, how to request an intervention, how backups and restore work, who owns the domain, code and content, and the renewal and withdrawal rules. If you go to an agency in Como or Brianza, ask for it in writing.
With managed hosting, whoever maintains the site also controls the server: updates, configuration and problems are handled in one place, with no passing the buck between agency and provider. NewVisibility, in Cantù, hosts the sites it develops on in-house managed servers, configured for its own enterprise CMS.
A site is protected from cyber attacks with constant updates, code with few external dependencies, controlled access to the panel, protected forms, an encrypted connection and reliable backups. A bespoke site on an enterprise CMS, without chains of plugins, has a smaller attack surface: we apply this to sites of companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
A website full of plugins depends on third-party code that has to be updated and made to work together: more plugins mean more risk of conflicts, slowdowns and vulnerabilities. In Cantù we develop for companies in Como and Milan on an enterprise CMS, with the essential features in the core and the rest bespoke.
Website speed matters because Google assesses loading experience through Core Web Vitals and because a slow site loses visitors before they read anything. It depends on lightweight code, optimised images, caching and well-configured servers: choices our Cantù team makes during development.
