We take on new WordPress maintenance and break-fix projects every month. And our process is always to get admin access to the backend, add the website to WP Remote, and do a backup. That way, if anything goes sideways, we can quickly recover even without hosting access. WP

Today i presume cost of creating software of even higher complexity to be effectively zero. However after speaking to quite a few folks on ver the past 2 days at WCEU it seems that we are the odd one out. Most have barely changed the way they make software.
