One accountable operator for your whole WordPress footprint
Protect keeps a site safe and boring. Propel adds an operator: we own the roadmap and backlog across up to three related sites, coordinate your vendors, and plan the improvements. Hosting is included.
Sold on a call, not self-serve. We confirm scope first, then take payment.
The thinking, not just the doing
Everything in Protect + Pulse across up to three related sites, plus an operator who owns what happens next.
Monthly operating roadmap
We bring the improvement plan, you approve it. No waiting for you to think of the work.
Backlog ownership
One prioritized list across all your sites, groomed by us and priced as fixed-price sprints.
Vendor coordination
Hosting, DNS, registrars, and third-party tools handled in your name, so you stop relaying messages.
Priority incident response
Propel accounts go to the front of the queue when something breaks. One call, one owner.
Hosting included
Pulse managed hosting comes with Propel at no extra cost, on every covered site.
Quarterly strategy review
Where the estate is heading, what it costs, and what we recommend doing about it.
An accountable operator, billed by the hour
Propel is not a package. We scope the work with you, agree it before anything starts, and bill for the hours actually used.
Propel
- Operating roadmap, backlog ownership, and sprint planning
- Vendor, hosting, and DNS coordination in your name
- Priority incident response and a standing strategy review
- Feature work, integrations, and migrations planned and shipped
Every engagement is different, so the rate and the shape of the work depend on what you need. We will walk you through both on a call before you commit to anything.

We bring the plan, you approve it

We confirm what you run, how many sites are in scope, and whether Propel is the right level.
2. Setup
We secure access, map the estate, stand up monitoring, and take a tested backup on every site.
3. Roadmap
Each month we bring a prioritized plan with what it would cost. You approve what moves.
4. Ship
Operations run continuously. Approved improvements ship as fixed-price sprints on dates we commit to.
Questions, answered
How fast do you respond?
Within 2 hours during business hours. Faster than a traditional PM, and you get the full context from day one.
Do unused hours roll over?
Yes. Unused hours roll over month to month, so you only pay for what you use.
How do we request work?
You request work via Slack, email, or your client portal. We prioritize based on your contract tier.
Can you handle design + dev?
Yes. Our team includes both designers and developers, so we handle full-stack requests without handoffs.
How do top-ups work?
Need extra hours? Buy a top-up package anytime. Hours are added to your monthly allocation and roll over like normal hours.
Do you replace our PM?
Not exactly. We act like an extension of your team — handling execution while your PM focuses on strategy and roadmap.
How is this different from Upwork or Toptal?
You get a dedicated team with context, not a rotating cast of freelancers. No onboarding overhead, no quality variance, no time zone delays.
What if we need full-time support?
Propel is designed for ongoing support, but if you need permanent headcount, we'll recommend the right hire and help with the transition.
