In today’s digital world, your website is often the first — and sometimes only — interaction people have with your business. In this episode of KE-NNECT, Ron Fiedler sits down with resident technology expert Kirt Hignett to unpack what really goes into a professional, secure, and reliable online presence.

Together, they explore why a website is far more than something you “set and forget.” Hosting quality, local support, ongoing maintenance, security updates, and professional email systems all play a major role in how your business is perceived and how well it performs online.

This episode is designed for business owners, professionals, and individuals who either already have a website or know they should — but may not realise what’s happening behind the scenes.

From outdated plugins and weak passwords to free email accounts and missing backups, small oversights can quickly turn into serious problems.

Listeners will walk away with a clear understanding of what needs to be in place, what to avoid, and how to ensure their technology supports their business rather than holding it back.

If your website hasn’t been reviewed or updated in the last two to three years, now is the time to act.

KE-NNect is currently offering ongoing website maintenance for $44 per month (normally $66) for the first 12 months when you sign up before the end of February.
