A note from Matt
Why I do this
I started Orange Wombat because I kept meeting good people doing important work (feeding neighbors, walking alongside families, making room for folks who’ve been hurt) who were quietly held back by their websites. Hacked pages, broken forms, logins nobody could find.
I believe small organizations deserve the same care big ones get, without the big price tag or the runaround. So I keep things personal. I’ll learn your mission, remember your people and treat your website like it matters, because it helps people who matter.
And if you ever feel lost or a little embarrassed about the state of your site, please don’t. That’s exactly what I’m here for.
Matt
Sound familiar?
Most websites aren’t neglected on purpose. They just don’t have anyone looking after them.
Hacked, and nobody noticed
Outdated plugins are the most common way small sites get broken into. Often the first warning comes from Google, or from a confused donor.
Updates feel risky, so they don’t happen
One bad update can take a site down, so updates get put off until something breaks.
Nobody has time to learn WordPress
Small edits sit on a to-do list for weeks because the one person who knew how moved on.
What care looks like
I handle the technical stuff, and the updates too.
Just email your changes
New staff, events, photos or a whole new page: send it over and I’ll take care of it. Your team never has to log in.
Security & cleanup
Firewall, malware scanning and login protection. If something ever gets through, I clean it up.
Safe updates
I check for WordPress, theme and plugin updates several times a day, with a fresh backup before every update and an automatic before-and-after visual check afterwards.
Daily off-site backups
Your whole site, backed up every day and stored off-site, restorable in minutes.
Fast managed hosting
Cloud hosting, SSL, CDN and uptime monitoring are all included. No separate hosting bill.
Speed & accessibility
Regular checks on performance and common accessibility issues, so everyone can use your site.
Monthly reports
You’ll always know your site is healthy.
Every month you’ll get a simple report covering security, backups, updates, uptime and speed, including exactly how many updates were applied. Behind the scenes, I’m keeping an eye on all of it and fixing issues as they come up.
Need a new website?
