Founder-led. Not a ticket queue.

CriticalWP is led by Martin Van Den Boogerd, a WordPress professional since 2010 with a background in cybersecurity and municipal government infrastructure — work that shaped how CriticalWP approaches security, uptime, and operational reliability. That background means the calls we make about your site — what to patch first, what a security alert actually means, whether an update is safe to run during business hours — come from someone who's made those calls before, not a checklist.

We don't just sell "WordPress maintenance." We sell outcomes: a website that stays up, stays secure, and keeps running your business — handled by a dedicated technical partner, not a task list. Every managed site gets a plain-English monthly report, not a wall of jargon — so you always know what changed and why.

When you contact CriticalWP, you're reaching a real team with direct accountability for your site — not a support rotation reading from a script. That's a deliberate choice for businesses that depend on their website working, every time.

Launching a new site or migrating one? One managed plan, built right the first time.

Not every engagement starts with an emergency or a full managed contract. Whether you're launching a new WordPress site or moving an existing one to us, our $149/mo plan gives you the same infrastructure standard — hosting, security, and a professional design foundation — with the option to build it out yourself or hand it to us.

A Professional Foundation, Ready to Go

Your site launches on a polished, professional design — protected so software updates never break your layout or branding.

Full Control, No Developer Required

Update text, images, and layout directly, without a ticket or a developer dependency — or hand edits to us whenever it's faster.

Industry-Ready Starting Point

Start from a premium template built for your industry, then customize it to your brand. Prefer it fully built for you? We'll set it up for a one-time fee.

Infrastructure That Just Works

Hosted on infrastructure built for reliability, not shared servers — automatically backed up, without the slowdowns of budget hosting.

Fast and Protected, Everywhere

Your site loads quickly for visitors anywhere, and stays protected from hackers and attacks — running quietly in the background at no extra cost.

We Watch Your Site So You Don't Have To

Software updates and security checks run automatically, tested before anything changes — so a new site doesn't become a support burden later.

Your site, live in a day.

For new builds and migrations alike. We handle the infrastructure setup so you can focus on the site itself — not configuration.

You Sign Up

We set up your hosting and website foundation — fully configured, nothing for you to install.

Pick Your Starting Point

Choose a premium template built for your industry. Not sure which one fits? Tell us about your business and we'll recommend one — or set it up for you for a one-time fee.

Customize It

Update photos, copy, and layout directly, or hand it to us to finish. No developer dependency, no guesswork.

We Keep It Running

Updates, backups, and security checks run automatically in the background, with a plain-English monthly report — so the site stays your team's asset, not your problem.

Start with a site. Stay with a partner.

CriticalWP is a WebOps agency for WordPress, not a hosting provider — that's the difference $149/mo reflects. It gets your site built or migrated on infrastructure someone is actually accountable for, not a shared server you're on your own with. Once it's live, Managed Stability keeps it running, secure, and monitored — built for a site your business actually depends on.

Common questions about CriticalWP

CriticalWP is a WebOps agency for WordPress based in San Marcos, Texas (Austin metro), serving businesses across the United States. It runs managed WordPress operations: updates tested before release, security hardening, monitoring, backups, and hosting on Cloudflare Enterprise, plus emergency support.
Managed WordPress operations means one team is accountable for keeping a WordPress site secure, stable and online: tested updates, security, monitoring, backups, incident response and reporting. It goes beyond a server (hosting) or a routine update service (a maintenance plan), because someone owns the outcome.
A managed host typically provides the servers and platform tools, and the site owner or their agency still decides on updates, resolves plugin conflicts and responds to incidents. CriticalWP includes hosting, but its job is operating the site: tested updates, security, monitoring, backups, emergency fixes and a plain-English monthly report.
Businesses that rely on a WordPress site for leads, sales, customer service or regulated data and have no one formally accountable for it, such as medical and dental practices, law firms, financial advisors, accounting and insurance firms, technology and manufacturing companies, construction firms and established ecommerce stores. Agencies and freelancers can also use it as a white-label backend.
Every managed site runs in its own container (not shared hosting) behind Cloudflare Enterprise CDN with DDoS protection and WAF, with Patchstack virtual patching and security and updates handled from day one. Managed Stability adds ongoing core, theme and plugin updates, security hardening and posture monitoring, proactive uptime monitoring, multiple backup points and a plain-English monthly report. Emergency support is available for sites that are down or hacked.
Starter is $149 per month and Managed Stability is $249 per month. Managed WooCommerce starts at $249 per month, Enterprise is custom-quoted, and a $99 per month per-site maintenance plan covers sites hosted elsewhere. Plans are month-to-month with no setup fee and no contract. See full pricing.
No. Hosting is included in every managed plan, but CriticalWP does not sell standalone hosting. It is a WebOps agency that operates WordPress sites for businesses that depend on them.
Sites on CriticalWP run behind Patchstack virtual patching and a Cloudflare layer, so protection does not depend on every plugin author, or every site owner, acting in time. We also explain major incidents in plain English, for example in our guide to Black October and what it means for WordPress sites.
Yes. The Starter plan covers building a new site or migrating an existing one onto the platform. Contact us through the Get Started page and describe the site you want to move.
CriticalWP serves businesses nationwide. It is based in San Marcos, Texas and is the local WordPress operations provider for the Austin metro. See our industry pages for medical, dental, law firms, financial advisors, accounting, insurance, technology, manufacturing, construction, ecommerce, logistics and multi-location businesses.
Use the emergency support page. Our team diagnoses sites that are down, hacked or broken, including white screens, 500 errors, malware and plugin conflicts.
