We\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/thebrandid.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brandiD<\/a>, a soulful digital design firm that helps our clients connect the dots between business, brand, and purpose so they can amplify their voices, increase their impact, and of course their revenue, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We build <em>a lot<\/em> of websites, and WP Engine\u2019s robust, user-friendly features make the entire process so much simpler and faster\u2014for our team of developers <em>and<\/em> for our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of our team\u2019s favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Multiple Backup Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine automatically <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/support\/restore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">backs up<\/a> all of our client sites daily\u2014<em>without<\/em> any additional setup by the brandiD team. Whew! On-demand backups are just as simple, too\u2014we like to run them prior to updating plugins or making edits on a client\u2019s site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, worst-case scenario: if a client tries to make a change or an update and accidentally breaks something important, WP Engine\u2019s convenient backup points allow us to quickly and easily restore their site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Free SSL Certificate for Every Domain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The free <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/blog\/its-time-to-secure-your-wordpress-site-with-https\/\">SSL certificate<\/a> that WP Engine offers with every domain is a <em>must<\/em>, and installation takes mere moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the SSL certificate increases the security of the site. Perhaps equally importantly, though, it increases the user\u2019s trust and confidence in the website by letting them know that the site is secure and their connection is private. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus: up-to-date security certificates mean the user never has to wonder if this site\u2014and by extension, business\u2014is stuck in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, Google\u2019s algorithm views HTTPS as a major factor when ranking a site as trustworthy\u2014so much so that sites with an SSL certificate installed have an advantage over sites without an SSL certificate. You know what that means\u2014better SEO for sites hosted on WP Engine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One-Click Staging and Deployment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/support\/environments\/\">one-click staging<\/a> feature is an essential piece of our development process!

WP Engine offers everything we need, all under one convenient dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether we need to peek at the <strong>Site Overview<\/strong> to confirm launch traffic numbers, access the easy-to-use <strong>SFTP <\/strong>to migrate a site, or even create a <strong>custom report<\/strong>, it\u2019s all right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Amazing Dedicated Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine offers dedicated support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
