How do I get started? getting started
Use the Start page to choose your modules (Protect, Pulse, Propel) and complete onboarding. You’ll enter billing details on the secure checkout screen, then we take it from there.
What happens after I check out? getting started
You’ll complete a short onboarding checklist (site access + goals). Then we run a baseline pass, stabilize the essentials, and move you into an “operated” state: monitoring, updates, backups, and proactive improvements based on the modules you selected.
Do I need to book a call first? getting started
Not usually. If you already know what you want, you can start immediately. If you’re unsure about scope, complex constraints, or timing, you can book a call and we’ll point you to the right module mix.
Which modules do most teams choose? getting started
Most teams start with Protect + Pulse so hosting and operations are managed as one system. Add Propel when you want one-time improvements (new pages, integrations, fixes, performance work).
What is Protect? protect
Protect is ongoing WordPress operations: updates, monitoring, security hygiene, backups, incident response, and keeping your site stable. It’s designed to reduce surprises and keep your site quietly reliable.
Does Protect include plugin/theme/core updates? protect
Yes — Protect covers routine maintenance and update workflows so your site stays current and stable. We prioritize safe rollout, backups, and validation. If an update requires deeper refactoring, we’ll recommend a Propel block to handle it cleanly.
What counts as an emergency? protect
Anything that puts your site’s availability, security, or core business function at risk (e.g., downtime, critical errors, suspected compromise). Protect is built around catching issues early and responding quickly when something breaks.
Do you support WooCommerce, memberships, or complex stacks? protect
Yes — those sites benefit the most from stable operations. The right mix depends on your plugin ecosystem and traffic. If you’re running a high‑risk stack, we may recommend pairing Protect with Pulse for tighter control over the hosting environment.
What is Pulse? pulse
Pulse is managed hosting tuned for WordPress: performance, reliability, and the infrastructure layer that lets operations run smoothly. Think of it as the foundation that keeps everything fast and dependable.
Can I keep my current host and still use Protect? pulse
Often, yes. Protect can operate on many hosts. That said, Protect + Pulse together is the smoothest experience because we can standardize performance, backups, and monitoring end‑to‑end.
Will you migrate my site to Pulse? pulse
Yes — when you choose Pulse, migration is typically part of getting you into a stable, operated state. We aim for low risk and minimal disruption, and we’ll align timing around your business needs.
Does Pulse include email hosting? pulse
Pulse focuses on WordPress hosting and reliability. For email, we generally recommend a dedicated provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, etc.) for best deliverability and support.
What is the $999 Protect + Pulse bundle? billing
It’s a streamlined package that combines Protect (operations) and Pulse (hosting) into one managed system. Annual pricing is shown as a simple anchor. Monthly options are available as well; final pricing and plan details are confirmed at checkout.
Do you offer monthly and annual plans? billing
Yes. You can choose monthly or annual during onboarding. Annual is ideal when you want the most predictable engagement; monthly is great when you want flexibility.
Can I cancel? billing
Yes — plan terms and cancellation details are shown during checkout. If you ever need to pause or change modules, reach out and we’ll help you land in a stable spot first.
Do you offer refunds? billing
Plan-specific billing and refund terms are provided at checkout. If something feels off, talk to us — we’ll prioritize a fair, professional resolution.
What is Propel? propel
Propel is one‑time improvement work: fixes, enhancements, new pages, integrations, performance work, and design/dev iteration. It’s ideal when you want progress without hiring a full-time team.
Which Propel package should I choose (1 / 5 / 10 / 20 hours)? propel
  • 1 hour: quick diagnosis, small fix, “can you just…” tasks.
  • 5 hours: small upgrade batch (forms, small sections, cleanup pass).
  • 10 hours: focused sprint (new landing page, performance round, integrations).
  • 20 hours: meaningful iteration (multi-page build, redesign slices, deeper refactors).
If you’re unsure, start with 5 hours — it’s enough to make real progress without overcommitting.
Do I need Protect to buy Propel hours? propel
You can purchase Propel as a one-time engagement. Protect is recommended when you want ongoing stability so improvements don’t regress over time.
How fast can you complete Propel work? propel
It depends on scope and queue. Small tasks can move quickly; larger work is scheduled and delivered in clean, reviewable milestones. If timing is critical, book a call and we’ll align on priorities.
What access do you need? security
Typically: WordPress admin access, hosting panel/SSH (if relevant), domain/DNS access (when needed), and any key third‑party tools (CDN, email provider, analytics). We request the minimum required and keep access organized.
How do you handle security? security
Protect emphasizes secure defaults, routine patching, monitoring, backups, and fast response when something looks off. If your environment needs extra controls (compliance, staging rules, access constraints), we’ll tailor the workflow.
How do you store passwords? security
We use secure, modern credential handling practices. Exact tooling can vary by engagement; if you have a preferred system (1Password, Bitwarden, etc.), we’ll align to it.
How do I request changes or support? support
After onboarding, you’ll have a straightforward way to send requests and track progress. Protect handles operational support; Propel covers scoped improvements and builds.
What are response times? support
Response expectations depend on your plan and the nature of the request. Emergencies are prioritized. Normal requests are triaged and scheduled for safe execution. You’ll see relevant details during onboarding.
Do you use staging environments? technical
Yes when it makes sense. Staging helps reduce risk for updates and improvements — especially on complex sites. For smaller sites, we may use lighter validation flows depending on the change.
Do you handle backups and restore testing? technical
Yes — backups are part of keeping WordPress boring (in a good way). The exact approach depends on your host and modules selected; Pulse + Protect is the most cohesive setup.
Will you recommend replacing plugins or simplifying the stack? technical
Yes. A stable, fast site often comes from fewer moving parts. If we see risky, redundant, or brittle plugins, we’ll recommend a safer alternative or a Propel task to refactor the dependency.
