WordPress Support

WordPress support for your website

A website is like a living being. It needs care and attention and regular care.


Your WordPress website

The hosting, maintenance and updating of the content must all be the same

A lot of things have to interact before a website is up and running. Even if it is very easy to create a website today, many different processes run in the background. In addition, there is daily maintenance: Issues such as software updates, backups, security and much more require regular attention.

This page briefly explains what you are dealing with as the operator of a WordPress website.

Your web hosting can be compared to a garage where you «park» your website.

Your hoster takes care of hosting your website. You provide and maintain the hardware, enable your domain to be set up and connect to the Internet, and take care of other things such as email hosting, FTP access and many other technical tasks.

The Website update is comparable to the regular service for your car (the website).

You can do this regular maintenance yourself or call in an expert service partner. Your hoster does not do this or only to a limited extent, because you yourself are responsible for your website. Typical tasks are:

  • External fuses
  • Data security
  • Update of all components
  • optimization

We can do this part for you. However, we cannot check, ensure or correct everything 100% at all times. This is because a WordPress website consists of many individual parts. The interaction of these parts is slightly different for each website. Regular updates are necessary, so keep your website constantly moving. Therefore, regularly check if your website is working as you expect it to. If you have any questions, we will be happy to assist you.

Here we go! You are responsible for the Website content. This is your car, so to speak. You determine which model you want to drive and where you want to go. You sit at the wheel and write articles, upload pictures, answer inquiries from customers and visitors, create news and record newsletters and many other things.

In short: you fill your website with life and relevant information.

Keywording Services

How do you make your images available?

Keywording strategies for the 21st century


Dead capital or game changer?

Those who communicate often do so with photos. Do you have a suitable image management system in use? Have usage rights been clarified and expiry dates communicated? Can images be searched and found? We are dealing with these questions. If pictures are only lying around on hard drives but nobody knows about them, then that is «dead capital».

Only keywording turns images into valuable assets.

A good keywording strategy can summarize information about images in such a way that your images are not “dead capital” but can be used. Internal image management is a challenge for many companies. However, when structured data is available, these images can be integrated into systems much more easily. Keywording is the key to success here. We help to structure and harmonize your data so that images become part of your success again.

Keywording and Consulting

Kursiv helps you to develop the appropriate keywording strategy. We provide our know-how or, if necessary, take over the keywording of the images. We will first discuss the requirements with you, receive the pictures from you and provide complete information. If necessary, we will quickly develop the software solutions so that we can meet your requirements.

  • Consulting for image projects
  • Keywording of your pictures (English, German, …)
  • Keywording training
  • Data migration to new platforms
  • Evaluation of requirement profiles for image databases

We can complement your team with our know-how. The best way to find out whether this fits in with a personal interview. Talk to us.
