A WordPress site needs constant, unglamorous work: updates, security patches, monitoring, backups, and a response when something breaks. In many organizations that work belongs to no one. Marketing assumes IT has it, IT assumes the agency has it, and the agency's job ended at launch.
Website management closes that gap. Instead of buying a task list, you hand the site to a team that is accountable for keeping it up, current, secure and recoverable, and that tests changes before they reach your visitors.
CriticalWP is a WebOps agency for WordPress based in the Austin, TX metro, serving organizations across the US. Management here is operations work: change control, tested updates and monitoring, not a break-fix help desk.
