Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our platform.
How does AgencyPro help WordPress agencies manage site build milestones?
Organize WordPress builds into milestones: design approval, theme development, plugin integration, content migration, and launch. Track progress toward each milestone and automatically invoice when milestones are completed. Clients can see exactly what's being built and when deliverables are due, improving project transparency.
Can I track plugin and theme development hours separately?
Yes! Track time spent on custom theme development, plugin customization, third-party integrations, and content migration separately. Set different hourly rates for each type of work. This helps you understand which development activities are most time-consuming and price WordPress projects accordingly.
How does staging site sharing work for WordPress projects?
Share staging WordPress sites securely through client portals. You can organize staging URLs by version, feature, or milestone. Clients can access staging environments 24/7, see what's changed, and provide feedback directly in the portal. Access permissions ensure only authorized users can view staging sites.
What happens when clients need ongoing WordPress maintenance?
Set up recurring monthly invoices for WordPress maintenance retainers. Track hours against the retainer allocation and automatically bill for overages. Clients can see exactly how their retainer hours are being used - security updates, plugin updates, content changes, or bug fixes - building trust and justifying monthly fees.
How does client training session tracking work?
Track time spent on WordPress training sessions, documentation creation, and handoff meetings separately from development work. Bill clients accurately for onboarding and training time. This ensures you get paid for knowledge transfer and helps clients understand the value of training services.
Can I customize the client portal for WordPress agency clients?
Brand the portal with your agency logo, colors, and custom domain. Organize dashboards by WordPress project phase, display staging site links prominently, and control which details clients see. Non-technical clients get a simplified view while your developers access full project details.
How does AgencyPro compare to ManageWP for WordPress agencies?
While ManageWP focuses on site management and updates, AgencyPro handles client billing, project tracking, and portal access. Use AgencyPro alongside ManageWP to cover both technical site management and business operations like invoicing, time tracking, and client communication.
Does AgencyPro scale as my WordPress agency grows?
AgencyPro grows with your agency from solo freelancer to a full team. Add unlimited projects and team members, manage dozens of maintenance retainers simultaneously, and use team dashboards to monitor workload. Bulk invoicing and automated retainer billing save hours as client counts increase.
How quickly can my WordPress agency get started with AgencyPro?
Most WordPress agencies are fully set up within a day. Import existing clients, configure retainer billing templates, and create project milestones in minutes. Pre-built templates for WordPress site builds and maintenance retainers mean you start tracking time and billing clients immediately.
Can clients submit WordPress support requests through the portal?
Clients submit maintenance requests, bug reports, and feature requests directly through their portal. Each request tracks time spent, priority level, and resolution status. This eliminates scattered emails and ensures every support task is logged, tracked, and billed against the retainer.
