Advanced Care Plan FAQ
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we hear from new clients.
Can you take care of WooCommerce sites?
Yes we can. Support for complex sites using WooCommerce is included in our Advanced and Premium Plans. We take special care when upgrading WooCommerce and its addons using a staging site and visual comparisons of before-and-after appearance.
What’s included in 'Fast Task' support time?
Simple adjustments or edits that take 15 minutes or less are included, like content changes, adding posts/pages, adding/changing images, adding events, etc. This does not include design/development, hack repair or restoration, adding online stores or products, adding membership systems, or training. For larger jobs, we’ll provide a formal quote.
Does monthly support time roll over?
Like a retainer, the monthly time is there for you every month to reserve your place in our work queue, therefore it does not roll over. You can take comfort in the fact that support you request within your allotted minutes of time per month will be addressed by our team promptly.
How do I request support?
Submit support tickets to our help desk here if you’re logged in to WP Minder. Or just send an email with a clear description of the problem to and we’ll start a new ticket for you at our support helpdesk.
Please be as descriptive about the problem as you can, you can even attach a screenshot if you think it’s helpful. And we’ll be in touch as quickly as possible.
What if I need more support time?
That's not a problem at all! We'll review your support request and provide a quote for you to approve, separate from your monthly Care Plan. However, many times we'll evaluate your request and with your approval, just provide the extra time at our current support rate.
What happens when I sign up?
So glad you asked! Check out our onboarding process.
Can I hire you to do design or development work on my site?
Absolutely. Design and development work is done through our parent company Red Kite Creative. For projects like theme design and development, send us a note about what you need as we quote by the project.
Do you offer discounts for more than one site?
Absolutely! Contact us for more information and let us know how many sites you’d like to include and what plan you're interested in.
New Site Evaluations
Although these Care Plans were designed for sites we build, we welcome new clients who are looking for a long-term relationship with a dedicated support team! But before we get started, we first do a Site Evaluation to become familiar with your website, how it was built and any potential issues that it has.
During the evaluation, we will check the basic condition of your site, make a full backup, and perform our usual website update and monitoring tasks. If we encounter any problems, we’ll make a list of issues to fix and suggestions for improvements needed in order for us to maintain the website. In most cases we can do the fixes for you at our normal hourly rate.
