Website review

Before taking over the website, the Alberon team performed a system review, inspecting the backend code and getting a general overview of the site. They also made sure the website was secure before moving it to our servers. Following a thorough review, we found the website was well-built and up-to-date so we could safely migrate it to our servers.

The website review identified how long the migration would take and the amount of work required. This was discussed with the North Wall team to ensure they were happy with the timings before any work began.

Migration

Our UK-based hosting servers come with a range of benefits. We focus on quality over quantity and pride ourselves on the security and performance of the websites we host – limiting the number of websites we host per server. The North Wall site immediately benefitted from their new hosting provision – with improved reliability and performance.

Managed updates

“Since moving to Alberon’s managed web hosting, we have seen an improvement in the speed and performance of our website,” says Amy Walters, the North Wall’s Programme & Marketing Manager. “The updates to the site keep it secure, and any queries we have are dealt with quickly and efficiently by the Alberon Support Team. Working with our Account Manager and the Support Team has allowed us to build a good relationship between our teams. They understand our systems and what we are trying to achieve as a business.”

We have also been able to help the North Wall implement further changes, such as adapting layouts for new pages. The support team was able to help them structure new pages whilst staying true to their brand and existing user journeys.

Web security

When the North Wall moved their hosting to us, we built two additional versions of their live website. A development site where our team can work in a secure, non-live environment – adding security updates or new functionality. And a staging site used to test new updates and functionality before being made live. The North Wall team can view updates on the staging site to check everything is in order before going live.

We make sure technologies are regularly updated, so the site benefits from the latest security practices and new features. That is coupled with our rigid processes to detect and protect against any malicious activity, keeping the website as secure as possible.
