Is Your Website Actually Secure?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most businesses build a website, hand over the login, and never think about it again. That's exactly when things start going wrong.
In this episode, Brandon sits down with Wyatt, co-founder and full stack developer at WiscWebs, to talk about what actually goes into building a secure, custom website and why the "set it and forget it" approach is one of the riskiest things a business can do online.
Wyatt brings 15 years of development experience and a straightforward take on where most websites fall short, from visual editor themes that look identical to every competitor's site, to vulnerabilities sitting unpatched for months because nobody's checking.
They cover why website security matters even if nobody visits your site, what happens when an e-commerce store gets hacked and has no backup, and why your emails might be landing in spam because DNS records your web developer never set up.
In this episode:
• Why custom code beats a purchased theme every time
• What website backups actually protect you from
• How hackers find small websites and what they do with them
• DNS, SPF, and DMARC explained in plain English
• A monthly, quarterly, and yearly maintenance checklist for your website
• Where AI actually helps in web development and where it falls flat
If you have a website and haven't thought about security since it launched, this one is for you.
