We are hiring! Electric Bricks is expanding and we are looking to add real professionals to our digital marketing teams. We are looking for qualified candidates who are interested in remote (US-based candidates only) contract/freelance positions but treat it like it’s their job (because it is!)! If you don’t want to attend any meetings, not be held to deadlines, and not have any accountability, then THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! Only serious applicants will be considered. We’re looking for contractors who are responsive (answer your phone and emails quickly) and responsible (do the best job you can every time and on time). We have a variety of positions available. Please review our Employment page for more details and to apply.

Celebrating 15 Years – The Evolution of Electric Bricks
Reading Time: 5 minutes
Founded by Keith Paul in the spring of 2008, Electric Bricks began as strictly a “web design” company, originally providing only graphic web design services. But since that time, EB has continued to expand its service offerings and has evolved into the full-service digital marketing agency we are today. In celebration of our 15th anniversary, we’ll look back at some details that enabled us to reach this milestone.

Website Backups – A Critical Line of Defense for Your Website
Reading Time: 2 minutes
This post is directed at all current and future Electric Bricks clients.
As part of your website hosting and maintenance package (H&M), Electric Bricks regularly backs up your site files and database as an important safety measure. These backups are a critical part of your website management service and help ensure your site stays safe and can be restored in the event of a hacking attempt, malware attack, server crash, or user error. We did extensive research and testing, and an issue that we’ve discovered is that most WordPress backup software (including the software we were previously using) can have an adverse effect on server and site performance due to the way they work. They use up a lot of server resources and can sometimes slow a site down or cause other issues. Because of this, Electric Bricks is changing (and improving) the software and methodology we use to manage the backups we do for you.

Electric Bricks & Cloudflare: Protecting Our Clients’ Websites From Cyber Attacks
Reading Time: 5 minutes
Cyber attacks of all kinds are on the rise. There is a relentless onslaught of spam, phishing, website hacking attempts, viruses, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks every single day. At Electric Bricks, we’ve seen a sharp increase in these types of attacks recently. While some are attempting to steal the identities of you and your clients, many of these types of attacks are often meant only to create chaos, crash websites, and cause senseless, irritating disruptions.
Please note: the following service changes only apply to Electric Bricks clients for whom we host their website.
