Build a Website That Works as Hard as You Do Custom Websites • Clear Strategy • Reliability You Can Count On

 A 404 error usually means the page you’re trying to reach has been moved, renamed, or removed. The quickest way to troubleshoot is to start by confirming the correct URL, then check whether the page still exists in your site dashboard. If it does, the permalink may need to be refreshed. In WordPress, you can visit Settings → Permalinks and simply click Save to regenerate your structure. 
If the page truly no longer exists, adding a 301 redirect ensures visitors land on the right content rather than an error screen. Persistent sitewide 404s may signal a theme or hosting configuration issue—something worth addressing before it escalates.

Most modern CRMs can connect to your website through either an embedded form, a plugin, or an integration tool like Zapier. Start by identifying which fields need to be captured (name, email, phone, service interest, etc.). Then map each field inside your CRM so the data flows into the correct record. 
After connecting, submit a few test entries to ensure the form sends, and your CRM is handling the information correctly. If notifications aren’t received or leads aren’t appearing in the correct pipeline, the issue is usually a field mismatch, missing authentication, or a form script conflict.

When a video won’t load, the culprit is usually the hosting method. Platforms like YouTube and Vimeo embed cleanly, but self-hosted videos can strain your server or fail on certain devices. Start by checking that the embed code is correct, and privacy settings aren’t blocking playback. 
If the video loads slowly or not at all, it’s often due to file size—compressing the video or switching to a streaming platform can significantly improve performance. Browser caching, plugin conflicts, and outdated theme files can also interrupt playback, especially on mobile. 

A slow website is usually caused by a few key issues: oversized images, unnecessary plugins, lack of caching, or outdated software. To diagnose the cause, use a speed-testing tool like GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights. Look for red flags such as uncompressed images, render-blocking scripts, or server response delays. 
Small improvements such as compressing media, enabling caching, cleaning up plugins, or updating your PHP version—can dramatically increase load time. Fast sites perform better in search results and improve user engagement, so this is a high-impact fix. 

Most websites use responsive design, meaning they adjust their layout based on screen size. If something looks off on mobile, it’s often caused by fixed-width elements, improperly sized images, or builder modules that aren’t configured for smaller screens. 
Inspect the page in a mobile view and look for anything that stretches beyond the screen width or stacks awkwardly. Adjusting padding, switching modules to mobile-friendly versions, or setting correct breakpoints will ensure the experience feels consistent across all devices.

 If form notifications are missing or stuck in spam, email authentication is almost always the issue. Your domain needs SPF and DKIM records that verify messages sent from your website are legitimate. Without those, inbox providers may block or filter them. 
Installing an SMTP tool and routing mail through a trusted email service also improves deliverability. Once authentication is in place, send test submissions to confirm they appear correctly, and that they land in the primary inbox rather than spam.

Every website builder—whether it’s WordPress, Elementor, Beaver Builder, or another tool—has its own editing workflow. The process always starts in the page editor. Locate the section you want to update, then click into the module or block to replace text, upload images, or adjust layout settings. 
Be sure to preview your changes on both desktop and mobile before publishing. If something doesn’t look right, undo tools and revision history can help you revert quickly. 

A site that includes custom coding may require support from a developer who understands the specific language or framework used, especially if the issue involves scripts, theme files, or custom-built features. 

Website security works best when layered. Begin with basic protections like strong passwords, updated plugins, and an active SSL certificate. Add a security tool that scans for malware, monitors login attempts, and alerts you to suspicious changes. 
If you’ve already been hacked, the immediate priority is isolating the problem—removing infected files, restoring clean backups, and updating any vulnerabilities. Once the site is stabilized, tightening security prevents future issues. 

When your site shows an older page version, caching is usually responsible. Browsers, servers, and performance plugins all store temporary copies of your pages to speed up loading. Clearing those caches forces the updated version to appear. 
If your pages flip back to older content unexpectedly, it may be due to server rollbacks or auto-restore settings. Reviewing your hosting configuration and backup schedule typically resolves the inconsistency. 

Adding a chatbot or AI widget usually begins by generating a script from the tool you’re using (HubSpot, Intercom, ManyChat, custom AI, etc.). Embed that script in your site header or through a plugin, then customize its behavior—greetings, triggers, and the information it collects. 
For advanced automations, make sure each data point has a destination: your CRM, your email marketing platform, or a task workflow. Proper setup turns the chatbot into a functioning part of your sales or support system rather than a simple popup.

These warnings mean your site is running software that’s reached its end of life. Older PHP versions can slow your site or create security risks, and outdated plugins can break functionality. 
Before updating, always check compatibility with your theme and major plugins. Running updates in the correct order—backups first, then PHP, then plugins—ensures the process goes smoothly.

Blog issues often point to the page template, permalink settings, or a conflict between your theme and a plugin. Start by confirming that each post is published and assigned to the correct category. 
If layouts look strange, your theme’s blog template may need to be updated. If posts show 404 errors, refreshing permalinks typically solves it. For posts not appearing on Google, check your indexing settings and SEO tools.
