  • Finally something that works

    At my agency we've been trialling Siteward in it's development phase and it's been outstanding. We've struggled to find a tool that helps us properly manage our clients sites in the past; trialling MainWP, WPUmbrella, and ManageWP; all of which fell short of the mark. Being in active development, Jason at Siteward is responsive to feedback and actually uses the tool regularly, meaning it's constantly improving as the featureset becomes richer.I look forward to seeing what's next, and I would recommend Siteward to any agency or freelancer that looks after multiple client sites on a regular basis.
