Procedure
The SLA terms above outline the most common aspects of our support work and what we ask of our support clients.
Common sense
Something we employ a lot of at Grid24. As our client, it’s in our interest to make sure that you receive the level of support and responsiveness that you deserve as part of your contract.
With anything WordPress, there are always curveballs that come out of nowhere, such as site hacks, sudden ‘white screens of death’ and a myriad of other potential issues (which is why you need one of our Support Plans).
We are a team that prides itself on getting the job done. We often go the extra mile and we’re passionate about making your site as good as it can be. But sometimes things take longer than expected. It’s a fact of WordPress. To this end, we proactively work with our clients to provide advice and full-on support.
