Introduction
When we work with clients to rebuild their network of websites, we can often see their eyes widen with anxiety and see them take a deep breath. There’s an immense trust they’re placing in us that we can actually pull through (we always do) and that their next few weeks aren’t about to get wrecked by a nightmare vendor. Building a new website network comes with its fair share of challenges. From understanding the complex technical requirements to the time-consuming administrative tasks, web development can be daunting. However, after 15 years of making WordPress sites and WordPress Multi-sites, we like to think our approach to project management is not like the average agency.
The Role of a Project Manager at Carenetic
Traditionally, the role of a project manager is seen as delivering projects on time and within budget. While that matters, we think a good PM does a lot more than track deadlines. Ours are your main point of contact from kickoff to launch. They bring in the right experts when needed and keep the whole thing from turning into a mess.
The Carenetic Process
Our strength lies in our process – a process we’ve been improving for 15 years. Here’s a sneak peek into how we work:
Expert identification and involvement
We involve the best minds relevant to your project, ensuring optimal results. While the PM has seen a lot of projects and generally knows the best practices, they are smart enough to know when an expert is needed.
Detailed meeting agendas
We’re not here to waste your time or ours. If we’re meeting, we plan to make it effective. Regular meetings for the sake of meetings are not a good time for anyone. No joke, we have a template for every type of meeting to hold to make sure we don’t miss crucial details.
Automated project setup
We embrace automation to eliminate time-consuming administrative tasks. Have I mentioned we hate wasting time? This was made using make.com automation back when I didn’t know what I was doing but it still works like a charm. Make is an automation software that connects apps so that you can eliminate time wasting administrative tasks. For us, one button and our entire systems and process are set up, tailored to the client.
Efficient content gathering using Content Snare
We respect your time. Hence, we use innovative tools like Content Snare for content gathering instead of tedious Zoom calls to get admin info.
Constant alignment with the project goal
Your goal is our guiding star. We constantly align our strategies and tasks to your project’s objective. We put it at the top of every agenda. When changes come up, we challenge them against the goal of the project we originally set. Internally, we call this Hit the Target.
Comprehensive launch and post-launch checklists
The launch process can be very stressful and if the agency isn’t careful, can incur unnecessary downtime. To ensure no detail goes unnoticed, we follow an exhaustive checklist for project launch and post-launch phases.
The Carenetic Advantage: Making the Complex Simple
At Carenetic, we simplify the process of web development. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear it from our satisfied clients who’ve experienced a headache-free journey while building their website networks with us.

Conclusion
Building a website network doesn't have to be a nightmare. We've spent 15 years figuring out how to make this process boring in the best way possible. We can’t guarantee there won’t be bumps along the way, but we’ve pretty much seen it all and can guide you through the entire process.
