Worry about your website being hacked? Fear not!
You’ve got a lot of responsibility at your job. Whether you’re at a consortium, association, library or nonprofit, maintaining a website isn’t your only duty.
Craft CMS, Website SecurityBlog
You’ve also got to ensure this website’s security! For your organization’s sake—and most of all, for your members’ sake.
Ultimately it’s your job to keep your clients’ information secure—and I know you don’t take this responsibility lightly.
But with constant headlines about hackers (and perhaps some attempts on your site already) security can come with fear and uncertainty—especially as hackers get smarter and security needs evolve.
Your clients and constituents trust you with their data. Are you doing what’s necessary to protect them?
You need to protect your community and clients from hackers. This need becomes even more important when your community has:
- Many members
- Many website editors
- Password protected areas with lots of sensitive content
- Forms that need spam control
Guess what? With Clearpeak, you don’t have to worry about website security. You can feel confident that you’re doing everything that needs to be done to protect your site, its data, and your clients.
Here’s how we ensure the most secure website for your organization:
All of our websites are built with Craft. At Clearpeak, we choose Craft CMS to build our websites because it’s the most secure option for our clients.
Here’s why we love Craft for security:
- Craft doesn’t rely on third-party add-ons. Many CMSs such as WordPress rely on third-party add-ons and this can make them vulnerable to attack. All of Craft’s core functionality is native and available right out of the box.
- Craft flies under the radar of hackers. WordPress is like the Microsoft of the CMS world. Because it’s used by so many people (35% of the internet), it’s often a target for hackers. Why? Because they can write one malicious code—and it will work for 60 million websites on the web. This means a bigger payoff and more motivation for hackers.
- Craft stays secure with just one click. Craft is easy to keep updated and secure—with just one click.
- Craft is built on open-source platforms but it’s not open to all. Craft is a commercial product that has a dedicated team to ensure its ongoing security.
- Many high-profile, security-focused organizations choose Craft. Craft is used by Netflix, Citibank, Lending Tree, Verizon and the US State Department among many others.
At Clearpeak, we’re proactive about keeping your website updated. Our service agreements include regular security updates, so nothing falls through the cracks. So when you work with us, you’ll know the site we deliver will be safe—and that it will continue to be safe.
If you’re a membership organization of any sort, or you have a website where clients share sensitive information, we know how important security is for you. Let us take the security burden away—and ensure your website looks and functions beautifully while helping you achieve your goals.
Let’s work together
At Clearpeak, we will combine our design expertise and strategy with Craft CMS to empower and secure your organization online. To talk about how Craft could work for your organization please contact us.

Jim and his team responded quickly to all suggestions and exceeded expectations on all fronts. The team at Clearpeak worked with us to completely redesign and modernize our website in a way that is user friendly and does all the we require and more! We now have a site that is easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, and customizable for whatever may come.Nicole Piermarini, Acting Director, Leominster Public Library
Jim and his team responded quickly to all suggestions and exceeded expectations on all fronts. No request was too big or too small. They’ve even worked with us after the project was completed to provide additional support as needed. We highly recommend them!
Our site was a mess! Jim and his team came in and walked us through the process of completely rethinking our site. Now we have a very logical, clean and well-utilized site that is the ‘go to’ place to find out anything and everything about our research alliance. This was super important since our enterprise covers several institutions, academia (Emory and GeorgiaTech) and a private non-profit hospital (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta).Barbara W. Kilbourne, RN, MPH, Manager, Business Operations, Atlanta Pediatric Research Alliance
Working with Clearpeak was great! They were very flexible and patient when our project took longer than planned. Their work was meticulous and they were great communicators. We highly recommend them!Ben Hires, Director of Programs, Boston Children's Chorus
We couldn’t be happier. Clearpeak understood exactly what we needed for our site redesign. The new design is clean, accessible, and user-friendly. Clearpeak is easy to work with and quick to respond to questions and requests. We couldn’t be happier.Madeline Bergstrom, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications, Landmark College
Our sincere thanks to Jim and his team! Working with Jim and his team from Clearpeak on the redesign of the Westwood Public Library's website has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Jim's technical expertise and understanding of public libraries were invaluable as we navigated new territory with the redesign of the library's website. Jim and his team are collaborative, responsive and knowledgeable, and their guidance and support enabled us to successfully launch our new Westwood Public Library website.Tricia Perry, Director, Westwood Public Library
The site looks great and works perfectly on both desktop and mobile. The Clearpeak team worked with us to design a site that is visually appealing, user-friendly and includes all of the functionality we required. Content is easy for our non-technical staff to create and update, and easy for our users to navigate. It was a pleasure to work with a team that was efficient and responsive throughout the entire design and launch process.Susan Paju, Head of Reference, Acton Memorial Library
Visits have skyrocketed! Our Library's website design committee consisted of several people, including volunteers, who had a variety of skills. Jim patiently demonstrated and trained the group to have appropriate levels of hands-on or administrative authority. Jim managed everyone at their level. Throughout the website's design, each member of our committee wanted to create a superior website and continually sent Jim suggestions, ideas and revisions. He acted quickly on each of these, guided us, and understood our goal. We couldn't be happier with the result and continue to receive praise for the appeal and content of our website.Elizabeth Johnston, Director, Sherborn Library
Jim Woodman and his team at Clearpeak are a pleasure to work with. We have hired Clearpeak to work on multiple website development projects. Every time, they deliver great front-end designs as well as high-quality back-end coding.Steve Collins, President, Webb Communications, Inc.
The Content Management System work that Clearpeak has done on each site has also been excellent — making it easy to keep site content updated.
I would highly recommend Clearpeak to any organization looking for a highly-experienced interactive agency capable of delivering great work.
Our new website is so much faster and easier to work with. The time it takes to update a page has been cut in half and we have so many more editing options at our fingertips. We’ve had a great experience working with the Clearpeak team and they’ve responded immediately to any requests we’ve had.Carly (Doyle) Allen, Communications Manager, The Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS)
