Why Now is the Time to Upgrade your Concrete5 & Wordpress Websites

Do you have an older concrete5 or Wordpress website that a little voice has been telling you is ready for an upgrade? Or maybe you have a business website that is older but looks good that works for you needs, that you don't see a reason to upgrade. Well now might be the time. A lot of older websites were built to run with older versions of PHP. For example, concrete5 version 5.6 sites and older, along with Wordpress 4.6 and older are not compatible with the latest PHP versions. However, the issue is that the older PHP versions are no longer supported so for security issues, many hosts are now requiring website owners to run the latest PHP version (7) on their hosting accounts. This means if a website owner doesn't upgrade their website then their website will start throwing error messages.
