Testimonials
"Our checkout died on Black Friday at 6am. BugShield had a developer on it within the hour and we were taking orders again before nine. Worth every penny of our WordPress maintenance plan."
Emma Fletcher
Owner, Fletcher Home Goods
"My site went down on Mother's Day weekend, my busiest days of the year. Fixed within the hour. Lifesavers."
Priya Shah
Owner, Bloom & Stem Florist
"Our site got hacked and filled with spam links. I was in a complete panic. BugShield cleaned everything out, got us off Google's warning list, and set up protection so it can't happen again. They explained every step in plain English, which meant a lot to someone like me."
Greg Patterson
Manager, Oakfield Community Trust
"We use BugShield for WordPress maintenance across eleven client sites, and the multi-site workspace has replaced three tools. Passwords in the Vault, fixes on the board, and one invoice at the end of the month."
Nadia Morris
Director, Bright Pixel Digital
"Brilliant. Booking form broke on a Friday night, fixed by Saturday morning."
Sofia Marchetti
Owner, Trattoria Marchetti
"I am not technical at all. Being able to just message the actual developer instead of raising a ticket and waiting days is the reason I have stayed for two years."
David Boateng
Founder, Boateng Coaching
"A theme update wiped out my whole photo gallery the night before a client viewing. BugShield restored it from a backup and fixed the clash by morning. I did not lose a single image."
