πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ Privacy for website owners, and introducing πŸ’§ Drupal CMS


January 2025

Happy New Year!

This month we're doing a deep dive into privacy. Privacy for website owners, privacy for you, privacy for the world. To cap it all off, we have a special Privacy Tune-up offer to make sure your privacy policy is accurate and covering your assets...

And if that's not enough, it's a big week for Drupal -- see below for why!

Automatically send notifications to Matrix


When you work on a team, it's useful to have notifications go to a chat room where you can coordinate any necessary action. Reviewing a comment before publishing, seeing stories as they are written, getting notified of new orders are the kinds of things we like having in a shared room.

Automatically generate or find images to go with your content


Today's website designs tend to use photos and images to make them look good. If you have your own photography or in-house illustrator, that's almost always going to give you the best result. But if you don't, this is something that can be automated with Drupal's AI module.

The AI Pixabay Automator can search Pixabay for relevant stock images that are free to use, and attach them to an image field.

The AI Image Generator can take your content and feed it into an image generator.

Picking a technology for internal use


The only kinds of proprietary software Freelock actually pays for are development and testing tools – tools we use to actually create our work products, or provide us with access to tools we otherwise can’t support (e.g. testing across a bunch of browsers we don’t have).

Insight

What do you need to know about your website? What don't you don't know? Freelock's new Vision Plan covers a different topic each month, doing a deep-dive to highlight a specific topic area related to the fundamentals all websites need to consider: Reach, Engagement, Delivery, Security, Performance, and User Experience.

Freelock Guarantee Terms and Conditions

The guarantee is that if something we developed or implemented breaks within the first year, we will fix it at no extra charge. This does cover items specified during the course of the project that might have been overlooked. It does not cover functionality that is not specified or out of scope. And it does depend on us applying regular updates to WordPress core and plugins (in fact, that's the main thing that might cause something to break -- a change in a plugin that changes how any custom code we write operates).

Release Policy

This page summarizes our options for rolling out regular updates. As a client on our Protection plan, you may choose among any of these options for notification, and release windows for deployment.

We will use your chosen policy when scheduling release of updates, and include the currently selected policy on our release notices.

For release of new functionality and/or bug fixes, if we have communicated with you otherwise, we may roll out with less notice or outside your window.

Website Security Check

Your organization has been around for a long time, and your website has been around for a long time... are you worried about expanded security threats?

We understand the anxiety that comes with website security.

Your website faces innumerable risks. Freelock offers a number of website protection services to protect you from these risks and create plans and backups so that you can focus on your business with peace of mind.
