What is a Fast Task?

A Fast Task is any update to your website that we can complete in 30 minutes or less from initial request to final delivery including emails & phone calls.

For example:

Updating on-page content including text, images, videos, etc.
Updating Forms including adding/removing fields, changing the confirmation message, changing who receives email notifications, etc.
Updating contact information including email addresses, phone numbers, address, maps, etc.
Adding new pages or blog posts (but not writing them)

Onboarding

We get to know you and your site.

First we examine your site top-to-bottom for potential problems.

We don’t get hung up on “best practices” for the sake of themselves.
Rather, we focus on tactical, practical things that will make or break your site.

Next we’ll provide a list of recommendations, all of which are optional.

UNLESS, something is so badly out-of-whack it must be fixed before migrating your site into our environment. Then we will tell you in plain English what the problem is,

how we plan to fix it,
how long it will take,
and what it will cost.

With your “go ahead”, we will do it.

Then we’ll create a Post-Update Functionality Checklist. More on that later.

Migration

The take-over begins.

First we will take over your DNS hosting, allowing us to make instantaneous changes.

Next we’ll migrate your site into the best-fit Managed WordPress hosting environment.

Then we’ll both review the migrated site to ensure nothing got lost in transit.

Finally we’ll seamlessly launch your site.

After your site migration is complete, we’ll take over management of your domain registration. You still own it, of course.

Throughout all of this, your email stays where it is.

At this point, we have the ball. You can cancel your old hosting account. (unless that’s where your email is!)

Ongoing

Now that we have your site, what are we doing with it?

We manage WordPress Core & Plugin updates.
Fast deployment of security patches keeps your site secure, while waiting for feature releases to mature keeps you off the buggy bleeding edge.

We notify you each time we run updates – before and after.
Upon completion, you should run through your Post-Update Functionality Checklist (that we made during Onboarding) – or we can do it for you starting @ $25/month.

We keep up with the best Plugins and extend our Developer Licenses to you wherever possible.

We manage your plugin licenses. For premium plugins unique to your site, you pay the license cost while we manage them seamlessly for you.

We monitor your site 24/7. If it goes down for even a minute, we know about it first.

Backups. Backups. Backups. Beyond automatic nightly backups stored for 30 days, we also store one backup per month for at least 2 years.

Managed Managed Hosting. We keep up with the best offerings in the Managed WordPress Hosting space and keep your site where fits best (free seamless migrations included).

Managed domain registration. One standard TLD (.com, .net, .org) is included in your plan. Additional domains can be managed for $15/year (more for specialty TLD’s).

Annually we’ll proactively review your site and make recommendations. We’re not chasing fads, rather keeping up with important technological changes. A well-maintained site can last years longer than one left to rot. These updates are optional, of course.

Hacker cleanup guarantee. If your site is compromised, we will restore it to it’s full glory at no additional charge.

Expert Advice. Whether you need support or have a big-picture question, we know you, we know your site, and we know how to help.

We answer the phone and emails. Promptly.

Who trusts us already?

We could not be happier with the service. Press Managed is like a well-oiled machine – they do all the hard work in the background and you barely notice because everything is working smoothly. They are some of the most responsive professionals I’ve worked with and always answer all of my questions quickly and effectively. Website maintenance and hosting is something I don’t want to have to worry about and with Press Managed, I don’t have to.

Shannon Grizil

Marketing Manager / SportPros USA

I work with Press Managed because they’re great at what they do: taking care of me, my website, my hosting needs, and keeping me updated so that my site is secure. I’ve been a client of theirs for years because they’re responsive, forward-thinking, and my site never fails…ever. If you want to work with people who put you and your WordPress site first, then look no further.

Zane Forshee

Guitar Department Chair / Peabody Conservatory

We have worked with Press Managed for years. The team is a terrific example of service and smooth operations. Our website runs effectively with no bumps, hiccups, and especially no moments of “Oh my God, what do I do now?!” which is what I hear from other friends who try to manage their own WordPress sites… which is when I refer my friends to Press Managed. There is so much to be done running your own show, this techy background stuff needs to stay in the background and Press Managed makes it happen. If I have a question, they are more than fast in a reply. We could not be happier with them.

Shelly Beyerle

Owner & Rossiter Instructor / Rocky Mountain Rossiter

We have been working with Press Managed since 2010 and have never been disappointed. They are extremely responsive and are always quick with solutions to any question or problem we have ever had. I know that with Press Managed managing my hosting I no longer have any security concerns that I experienced with some of the big box hosting options. I count on them for all aspects of our website maintenance and hosting and this allows me to focus on my business.

Chris Pyle

VP and General Manager / Waste Systems INC

Our website is a very important part of our business and Pressed Managed makes sure that it is secure and running optimally all the time. The service that Gordon and Leah provides is invaluable, which allows me to focus on my customers and my business.

Ron Subaba

Owner / Epic Escape Game

Even though we just started working with PressManaged, they have quickly become a godsend. We are so very impressed with the customer service, skills and dedication. About a month after hiring them, our website experienced some malware issues and Gordon and Leah jumped right in to help us not only fix the issue but worked relentlessly to figure out the base of the problem (it was “zombie code” from a deleted plugin). I would highly recommend them to any one looking for help on their website, they are truly amazing!

OK, here’s the deal. As an independent consultant for more than 26 years, I’m a non-techie who needs and wants to put my time and energy into things I’m good at and understand. Knowing Press Managed is taking care of my online needs eliminates worry and guilt. In addition, Gordon and Leah are willing to answer my questions if – amazingly – some come to mind. They provide peace of mind for a simple guy in a crazy, technical world.

Gregg Piburn

President / Leader’s Edge Consulting

I have been working with Gordon at Press Managed since 2012. Press Managed has consistently been professional, quick to respond to questions or updates to my websites, and have worked well with my staff including graciously train them to be empowered to apply simple updates. They have taken the time to work with me and my companies over the years to help make sure my websites are functioning to meet my companies needs. Over the years in my working with Press Managed they have always given my companies the value and a stable structure so I sleep at night while my websites are always online and functioning.
