Scale gives you dedicated WordPress development capacity for building, improving, and expanding your website. SiteCare care plans are focused on keeping your website healthy, secure, updated, monitored, and supported. You can use Scale on its own or pair it with a care plan if you want SiteCare handling both sides.

Not quite. You get the consistency of working with one developer who gets to know your team and your website, but they’re also backed by SiteCare. That means they’re not working in isolation. They can lean on the broader SiteCare team when they need another perspective or run into something especially complex.

Yes. They can join your Slack or Microsoft Teams, attend standups, work from your project management system, and contribute directly to your repositories. We don’t make your team move into SiteCare’s tools just to work with us.

Half time is four hours every business day. Full time is eight hours every business day. We agree on a consistent working window before the engagement begins so your team knows when your developer will be available.

We handle the matching for you. We match based on the work you need done, the technical experience required, and the hours your team works. Rather than asking you to judge developers in a short interview, we give you a two-week fit window to see how the match works in practice.

Tell us. During the first two weeks, we’ll rematch you at no additional charge if the fit isn’t working. If you’d rather stop the engagement altogether, we’ll refund the unused balance of the month.

Most new Scale engagements can be staffed within two to three weeks. We’ll use that time to understand the work ahead, match the right developer, confirm working hours, and get access sorted out before they join your team.

Scale is designed for substantial WordPress development, including WooCommerce, memberships and subscriptions, Salesforce and HubSpot integrations, custom plugins and blocks, performance work, migrations, multisite, and custom front-end or back-end development. If you’ve got something unusually complex, that’s worth talking about. We can usually tell pretty quickly whether Scale is the right fit.

Yes. Your developer works in your repositories, and documentation is part of the engagement. We set aside time every week to document important decisions and technical details so the knowledge stays with your team.

Not by default. Your Scale developer is responsible for testing their work and following a staging-first development process whenever your environment supports it. If you want a second engineer formally reviewing every change or dedicated QA coverage, we can scope that as an expanded engagement.

Planned time off is scheduled in advance, and your developer follows your holiday calendar rather than SiteCare’s. If something genuinely urgent happens while they’re away, SiteCare can step in for issues like a site outage, broken checkout, broken lead forms, or a security incident.

Our Scale developers are experienced independent professionals located around the world. Location matters less than availability, which is why we agree on a fixed working window before the engagement starts. Your developer should be present during the part of the day when your team actually needs them.

SiteCare is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and our development team follows company-wide standards for access, credentials, data handling, and security. We also maintain written rules around the use of AI coding tools, including what client information and code can and can’t be shared with those systems.

Yes. You can move between half-time and full-time capacity with 30 days written notice. That gives you room to scale development effort up or down as your roadmap changes.

Scale starts with a three-month initial term. After that, it continues month to month and can be ended with 30 days written notice. There’s no annual contract.
