The Smart Choice

Delegate your Website

I’m the technical partner for independent writers and journalists who’ve turned their expertise into a business. While you focus on your craft and building your audience, I handle management, security, performance, and all the technical details that keep your WordPress website running smoothly.

No emergencies, no downtime, no technical headaches, just a Website that works. Trusted by journalists, authors, and media outlets for over 20 years.

What Clients Say

Manuel is an excellent professional, he has deep knowledge, and he’s always ready to help with any issue, whether it’s related to the website, social media questions, metrics, or the challenges that come with new technologies. That’s why I say it’s a privilege to work with him: he’s always there, doing everything he can to solve the problem. He never says no.

Which, honestly, might even be a flaw. But for those of us who work with him and rely on him, we’re grateful for that level of commitment.

For example, whenever my site suddenly goes down, I send him a message with a screenshot, and it’s not that he will check, it’s that he’s already checking. “Let’s see what happened, I’ll keep you posted,” he says, and then he fixes it.

He solves things quickly, or as quickly as the complexity allows. Sometimes the issue is beyond what he can fix immediately, but if it’s something he can resolve on the spot, he does it.

If you ask me whether I would recommend him as a website manager and administrator, I have absolutely no doubt: Manuel is the right person. There’s no one with his mix of knowledge, skill, and reliability.

So I highly recommend reaching out to him and trusting his work. You’ll be in the best hands.

What to expect

My Technical Partnership process

With over 20 years of hands-on experience managing websites, I’ve refined my process to be efficient and very reliable. Everything I do is backed by decades of real-world knowledge.

  • All the paperwork

    Onboarding

    Getting started is simple and streamlined. I’ll guide you through the onboarding process using easy-to-fill forms where you can securely provide your website logins, relevant details, and any preferences. You’ll also receive a short service agreement and invoice to keep everything clear and professional. Once payment is completed, we’re all set to move on to the next step.

  • I'll take it from here

    Migration

    I’ll access your current site, download everything I need, and upload it to my server, it’ll be like moving to a new house but without the packing and unpacking. No two migrations are exactly alike, since every site has its own mix of hosts, plugins, and themes. But no worries, I’ve done this many times, and I’ll handle it all smoothly, with zero downtime for your website.

  • I Deep Dive

    Full Site Assessment

    Once your site is migrated, I kick things off with a full audit to check for any issues related to performance, security, SEO, theme code and plugins (I even check your Database). During this audit, I’ll fix the most critical issues that are actively harming your site.

  • Smooth sailing from now on

    Your Website, professionally managed

    I plug your website to my suite of tools that handle tracking, security, and performance optimization. And from that point on, your website is being professionally looked after for the entire duration of your contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I need more than the included support?

    Additional work is billed at $75/hour with my discounted client rate.

  • Can I cancel anytime?

    Monthly plans have a 3-month minimum, then you can cancel with 30 days notice. Annual plans run for 12 months.

  • What if my site goes down?

    I monitor 24/7 and typically respond to emergencies within 1 hour. Most issues are resolved before you even notice them.

  • Do you work with platforms other than WordPress?

    I specialize in WordPress because that’s where I can deliver the most value. If you’re on another platform, I can help you migrate.

  • What happens during the migration?

    Zero downtime. I clone your site, migrate it to my optimized hosting, test everything, then switch the DNS. Your site stays live the entire time.
