For a single emergency fix or any support plan, you can get started immediately. The sign-up process is simple and only takes 5 minutes. After sign-up you will have access to our client portal where you can immediately begin to request any help or support.

What details do I need to give you in order for you to provide support for my website?
We need your website domain (address) and your WordPress CMS credentials (user and password). In order to offer a truly comprehensive 24/7 service that enables us to fix your website under any circumstances, we also ask for your hosting provider credentials. Quite often, in the worst case scenario of a website going down, we’ll most likely need access to the control panel of the website via your hosting arrangements, hence the importance of holding this information.

We’ve developed our own custom client portal providing a support ticket system, a dashboard with key metrics in relation to your website and other useful features. One of our team would be happy to run through a demo of our portal - Simply contact us to arrange at your convenience.

We use our own specially designed support ticket system for all plan customers in lieu of phone support. Our 24/7 team is highly responsive to any support tickets raised and having the issue detailed and recorded in writing makes it much easier for both you and us.

Yes, support tickets can be raised anytime 24/7. Critical issues flagged as high priority are looked into ASAP.

There is no limit on the number of support tickets you can submit. However, if any requests fall outside of the scope of your plan or the time it takes to make the changes you’ve requested is greater than any inclusive improvement time, we’ll raise a quote to let you know the cost of completing such work.

We monitor your website 24/7/365 and manually login to check your website once a week with the Advanced Plans (bi-weekly with Business Plans and monthly with Pro and Standard plans) and apply any plugin, core and theme updates. Unlike other providers that use automated methods to manage updates, our team of WordPress experts check your website manually to ensure there are no issues after updates have been applied. If any issue or conflict is found we work on this until it's resolved.

For Pro, Business and Advanced Plan customers we offer unlimited bug fixes for the life of your plan. Any fix to your current WordPress website is covered no matter how big or small.

For Standard and Pro Plan customers we take daily offsite backups of your entire website and database, storing on our secure cloud server. For Business Plan customer we take backups every 12 hours and Advanced Plans we take backups every hour. We keep 90 days of backups, so if in the extreme case we needed to restore your website from an earlier backup, we can do this quickly and easily.

Yes, if your plan includes website improvement time, this can be used for any kind of development. If development takes longer than the time included with your plan in the given month, we can provide a quote to complete the development at a very reasonable hourly rate. We’ll never complete any work that falls outside of your plan before providing an accurate quote and checking you’re happy to proceed.

Page loading speed optimization work is included for Business and Advanced Plan customers. We work to not only optimise your website for faster loading times but continue to monitor and maintain the speed increase for the life of your plan. Please note we don't guarantee Google Core Web Vitals pass.

General website level SEO optimisation is included for Business and Advanced Plan customers (this does not include in-depth on or off page SEO work). We run a technical SEO audit on your website after sign up, a 100 point report which scores your WordPress website. We then work on improving and fixing issues to give you a higher score making sure your website is in great overall SEO shape.

We typically install and configure Wordfence, a plugin endpoint firewall and malware scanner. It’s one of the very best WordPress security plugins, whilst also being ‘light’ and therefore not negatively impacting website speed. We can install alternative security plugins in line with specific client preferences. Either way, you can be confident your site is secure and can be quickly restored in the worst case scenario, thanks to comprehensive security measures and backups.

No. We can support your website irrespective of your hosting arrangements. We can also manage the migration process from one hosting provider to another and even provide hosting if required.

Given the broad spectrum of development and changes that can be made to a WordPress website, it would be impossible to define exactly what is not included in the scope of our support plans.

We’ve found that having everything in writing results in less chance of misinterpretation, meaning better overall service delivery. Whilst we don’t offer phone support, rest assured that customer service is our number one priority and you’ll always find contacting us to be quick, efficient and professional. We can consider alternative communication methods should you opt for one of our Custom plans.

No, but we aim to resolve tickets as follows:

Business critical - ASAP, High priority - 12-48 hours, Low or Medium priority - 1-4 days, Site Optimization - 2-5 days, Performance tune-up - 3-7 days.

These are target timeframes. If we are dealing with a particularly high volume of tickets, things may take a little longer, but this isn't common.

No. When we onboard a new website we undertake a thorough audit, which can often result in significant work being completed. As a result, we’re unable to offer a trial period given the nature and volume of work we complete in the early stages of supporting your website.

Yes, but all of our support and ticket responses are in English.

Yes all of our support plans include an SSL certificate, ensuring your site is always kept secure. The only exception is hosting providers who do not allow the installation of a third-party SSL, in these cases you will have to renew the SSL with the provider.

Yes for Advanced Plan customers. Our team is very familiar with the platform and we support lots of WooCommerce websites.

We can support WordPress Multisite - a “network” of subsites within a single instance of WordPress.For a Multisite install with simple setups using common themes and plugins, we may be able to support such sites under our Advanced plan. However, in most instances, we will need to assess your Multisite setup and provide a custom-priced subscription. If your website is Multisite, please contact us via the ‘Get Quote’ form and provide as much detail as possible on the setup of your site to allow us to consider an appropriate price point to deliver the support you require.

If you're an existing plan customer, we will advise you if a plugin on your website is no longer supported or compatible with the latest version of WordPress. We will advise on a course of action to remedy this as depreciated plugins can be a major security risk.

No, we need to ensure our team has the availability to service all of our clients promptly and fairly, which simply wouldn’t be possible to organise if inclusive improvement time rolled over. Should you require additional website improvement time within a given month you can always purchase such time at a very reasonable cost.

You can upgrade your support plan at anytime. Downgrades can only be applied after the minimum 3 month term.
