We’ve set up websites for vets before, and we can proudly add Kynoch Vets to our client list. Their vet website was launched today, and was set up by Fearntech using WordPress, a customised theme, bespoke elements, and integration with a third party supplier of veterinary articles. Please visit their vet website.

Clinic website designNew ‘refreshed’ website launched today for No.6 Clinic in Tunbridge Wells. Samantha was looking to soften the existing design and give the text more room to breathe. We change font sizes and more importantly font spacing, removed all the ad-hoc styling to give a more consistent site-wide style, and softened the existing colour scheme with the addition of more rounded corners. The result should be more attractive to the Clinic’s typical customers. Please give them a visit at their Tunbridge Wells beauty clinic (No.6 Clinic).

In recent weeks I have seen repeated hacking attempts on my own and client’s WordPress blogs. The hacking attempts are of the ‘dictionary’ type, where an automated script repeatedly attempts to login to the blog using a new password for each attempt. If the password is weak e.g.’abc’ (or given enough attempts with a stronger password) then eventually the hacker will successfully login to your blog and then can perform whatever actions are allowed for that user role (potentially including redirects to malware sites, or installing other scripts to facilitate hacking/spamming activities).

I’d recommend that anyone responsible for maintaining a WordPress blog should in addition to their usual security processes, follow four steps to protect against this type of attack. Read more
