Training and Support
We love to hand clients the “keys” to their website so that they can change the slideshow, make blog posts, and keep the content up to date. We can teach you in person, through screen sharing, or by making guides specific to your website. If you are super busy person and dont have the time or the staff to make changes to your own website, we will be happy to make changes and additions for you.
Updates
We provide updates for all the websites and web apps we create and host. Updates include upgrading the underlying web development frameworks that power your website whenever they are released. Sometimes by updating the underlying framework additional softwares that make your site or app function, such as the ecommerce system, may also need to be updated to remain secure and compatible. We consider these mandatory updates and therefore they are included in our monthly hosting fees.
Hosting
We host our websites and web apps on WPEngine. They provide professional ‘managed hosting’ which means they handle web page compression, loading optimizations, content delivery networks, mirroring, and security. Please contact us or WPengine for more details about hosting. If you already have a hosting account or prefer to host with a different company, we will accommodate your needs.
Changes and Additions
For changes to your website please contact us to discuss. Before commencing with any changes, we will itemize the tasks you request, review your current website, and then provide you with a preliminary estimate. For major additions and changes to your website’s functionality, we will need to have a discussion, then write a proposal with ballpark figures and have a follow up discussion, before calculating a preliminary estimate. Any variability in our estimates will be attributed to specific unknowns, which in some cases you may be able to help mitigate. For example, in some cases, a rather subjective task, such as acquiring photography by selecting and purchasing stock images, could be handled by you or your staff if desired.
Backups and Security
We host all of our websites and apps on WPengine. They make daily backups of each website and take numerous steps to make sure your web system is as secure as possible. They also provide a high level of security through their partnerships with companies like CloudFlare Inc. Through partnerships and subscriptions, WPengine maintains collective blacklist of hacker IP Addresses, which prevents many perpetrators from even communicating with your server. WPengine hosts mirrored copies of your website at different server location, so if there is ever a network (infrastructure) disruption, your site won’t go down. WPengine provides fabulous phone support and they are very transparent about any potential issues that they are experiencing upstream, downstream, or internally. Please contact us to learn about the other measures Dispensary Webapps and WPengine takes to secure your web system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Warranty and Refund Policy
This warranty however is invalidated if you have additional work performed on your website by other people or companies.
Intellectual Property
This means that you cannot sell their work in isolation (ie you can sell your website but you cannot just sell the stock slide show image.) For our clients with ecommerce websites, some of the additional softwares (such as a UPS shipping calculator or Quickbooks Integration) require software licenses to update.
Therefore, if we do not host your website you will need to buy your own licenses to eventually update the softwares powering your website.
HIPAA Compliance Security
If you are storing patient information, detailed access logs to this info must be kept for at least 3 years. Now, don’t get too worried- for most dispensary websites HIPAA does not apply.
For example, if a visitor to your website searches in your search bar for a symptom, to see whether marijuana may be an appropriate medication, the search query is not directly tied to the patient’s name. (Their search is, however, tied to their IP address, so having an SSL certificate to authenticate and encrypt communication with your websites server is a good idea. )
Please, contact us to discuss whether your current web system is compliant.
Do I need a new website?
Does your website serve your business objective?
- Enable people aware of my name or business to find and contact me.
- Attract visitors in my general location to my business based upon keyword searches.
- Provide scalable customer support through my website.
- Improve customer retention and loyalty by having a website with ever-evolving content and two way communication.
- Sell products, streamline shipping, and improve customer support through my ecommerce website.
- Monetize or retain my social following by having my website as a central hub.
- Mockup an idea into a functional web app in order to woo investors and find partners.
- Get email signups via an attractive landing page for an upcoming product launch.
- My website is used for bookings and reservations.
- My website is used for receiving payments for goods or services.
Does my website load quickly?
Visit Pingdom or webpagetest.org and see how long it takes for your site to load. Yslow.org gives a list of 23 load time improvements that can be implemented. Google’s speed test will also analyze your site and tell you what improvements you can make for it to load faster.
How can I make my website load faster?
- Use appropriate sized and formatted images to maximize your content to webpage size ratio.
- Use page compression (such a gzip compression).
- Serve static content from caches rather than have your server build the same webpages over and over each time the webpage is visited.
- Specify expiry times for content, so that your visitors browsers store your content, making their browsing experience much faster.
- Load your webpages so that the meat and potatoes (ie html content) arrives in the browser first followed by the functional code which, for example, runs your slide show. You can also asynchronously load content from multiple servers so that the webpage may load and then a few 1/10s of a second later the functional (javascript) aspects and photos load.
- Compress (or “minify”) your css and javascript files (rather than have lots of css files that bring out the design of individual elements of your site, cut and paste these files together and load them once.)
- If you’ve got a lot of content (ie videos, photos, etc) use a Content Delivery Network rather than just one server to send content to your visitors.
- Make sure your DNS lookup is fast and doesn’t route you through any superfluous name servers.
- Chose high quality hosting and ask if they will do some of the above things for you.

How do I keep my website secure and spam free?
Some hosting services offer a layer of protection however you can also have your web developer set you up with CloudFlare, which will help alot. They act as a barrier between your server and the visitors to your site. They maintain massive lists of hackers and spammers IP Addresses and will block them from even seeing your webpages. Akismet provides a specialized service like this for WordPress websites. These services will also protect your site from denial of services attacks (DOS) and decentralized DOS attacks where hackers repeatedly send requests to your server thereby clogging it up so that real people can visit your site.
Some things that will help secure your site:
- Add security widgets to contact or comment forms.
- If you have forms on your website, or basically any input boxes, parse the inputs to block certain commands (known as SQL injections).
- Make your passwords tricky.
- Keep your website’s core platform and additional software widgets upto date.
- Force secure connections with https using an SSL certificate.
- Use obscure usernames rather than things like “admin”
- Lock the login page.
