  • A dynamic FAQ section for improved customer support.
  • Advanced form submissions with validation for user interactions.
  • Updating templates to ensure seamless performance across devices and screen sizes.
  • Optimizing metadata and implementing schema markup to enhance search engine visibility.

Security Implementation

  • Implementing SSL and HTTPS configurations to ensure data encryption and secure user interactions.
  • Applying security patches and firewall configurations to prevent unauthorized access and vulnerabilities.
  • Setting up regular security scans and monitoring for potential threats.

Server Maintenance

  • Implementing regular backups to ensure data safety and quick recovery in case of failures.
  • Monitoring server health and resolving downtime issues proactively.

Content Improvement

  • Updating existing content to align with SEO best practices and industry standards.
  • Managing media assets for better accessibility and visual appeal.

Subdomain Management

  • Creating standard features and designs across subdomains for a consistent brand experience while accommodating unique content for each.
  • Streamlining the deployment process for updates, ensuring minimal downtime across multiple sites.

Communication & Collaboration

  • Providing weekly progress updates, ensuring transparency and alignment with Clinuvel’s expectations.
  • Maintaining a continuous feedback loop for rapid iteration on requested changes.

Outcome

Successfully maintained the websites, implemented key features, and managed bug fixes, all while maintaining direct communication with the client. This led to improved client relationships and provided valuable experience in WordPress, PHP, and Nginx technology.
