We’ll even fix them for you. • SiteLock provides a website security system that detects, corrects, and helps prevent future problems from affecting your business website. • SiteLock looks out for your online business. We are continuously scanning your website and looking for potential risks, threats, and areas where you may have been compromised. • Even though your website environment and infrastructure are secured by your hosting provider, your website and applications you run on it still need to be protected. And SiteLock can help.
The Brand: Tone of Voice • Confident: SiteLock messaging and copy should never be apologetic or submissive. In order to be perceived as a market leader, we need to sound like the experts that we are in all matters related to website security. • Personable: SiteLock should sound empathetic, yet knowledgeable, about how to protect our customers’ reputations and businesses online. Using phrases like, “We have seen significant increase in conversions…” as opposed to “It has been shown that…” • Friendly: SiteLock needs to communicate in a way that makes people want to do business with us. People work with and respect people. Everyone in the company is a brand ambassador and should maintain a positive and helpful approach when dealing with customers and partners alike. • Technically savvy: SiteLock has the technical expertise, the credibility and the experience to lead the website security market. We need to demonstrate that, however, through easy to use tools, interactive user experiences, and reports/results that make sense to business users.
