From that page:
Hackers seek low hanging fruit and small business generally have little to no security.
I would change the wording on this to "...Small businesses don't always have the budget for sufficient security to prevent these attacks"
I would not because it's not true. SMBs can often afford to do things well. They choose not to, it's not the same at all.
But I also feel like saying small business generally have little to no security is a blanket statement that's not necessarily true either.

But it is absolutely true. Generally SMBs have little to no security. More often than not, they actively disable default security.

Well, then I must have gotten the smart few who have at least some security, and I can't necessarily say 'little' or 'bad'.
Not saying you're wrong. I just find it odd, from an anecdotal level. Not enough to argue I'm right, but enough to want to look up some statistics on this.

My users certainly would if allowed!

I think it has more to do with how the end user perceives their environmental stress.
In the small offices I've done support for, where people are mostly task oriented, the employees don't seem to mind security, at least to a certain degree.
But those in a (what they believe to be) a high(er) stress environment - nurses, medical personal, public interactions - they push back because they see it as slowing them down.
Example with a nurse - they might walk away from their computer 400 times a day, that means locking the computer 400 times and unlocking it 400 times, all while be yelled at by a doc demanding xyz.

In a REAL demanding environment, that doctor would get in trouble for social engineering - pressuring people to violate security rules for his own gain. This is an HR problem, HR not holding workers accountable to providing a safe, efficient work environment.
Now making computer security efficient in that kind of environment is important. But thinking that disabling security can even be suggested means they aren't cut out to work in medicine and don't understand their role in protecting patients.

The docs aren't demanding it - I feel this is a user perception, just not a reality.

OH definitely, the users don't care about the patients or their security/protection of. What's so damned funny is that they all claim they do, but either don't know, don't care, or don't understand how security is just as vital to drawing blood is to the care/protection/well being of their patients.

No, but they are yelling. Why are they yelling?

This seems to be the summary right here.

What WP Theme are you using? A lot of the content is not aligned (i.e pricing 1 is lower than 2 and 3)
fixed here

I guess uBlock Orgin killed the ad for me, I only got the banner at the top and the wallpaper background.
-
Haha, he posted his own link wrong..
If you go back to the beginning of the thread he posted a different URL.

Like the website, Good luck and all the best for your venture.

OK now that I'm at the correct website.
It's kinda weird how the logo changes size depending if you're scrolled all the way to the top or somewhere down the page.
-
@Dashrender I think it's actually a little underpronounced. I've seen websites do that to give the viewer more room to see the website instead of a banner
-
I suppose that makes sense, I guess I'm just not a fan, nor do I recall ever seeing that happen before.
-
@IRJ So are you open to people like me having you run your basic Vulnerability Analysis and not bothering the site again?

Not sure what the slider is supposed to do here on the Contact page.
