Website Maintenance Projects Becoming a Headache?

Ah, the struggle is real. Dealing with clients who tinker with plugins, themes, and settings on their sites while logged in – it’s a recipe for disaster. And let’s not forget those surprise troubleshooting marathons that throw our plans and projects off track. As if that weren’t enough, there’s the challenge of webmasters or supposed tech-savvy folks who, instead of helping, end up causing more harm than good. It’s like they know just enough to be dangerous and undermine all the hard work you put in.

But fear not, because there’s a solution on the horizon that’s about to make all these headaches a thing of the past…

Introducing the Simple Client Dashboard Plugin

Give clients exactly the access they need

Easily incorporate into your website maintenance projects

Getting started with Simple Client Dashboard is a breeze — unlike other full user-role solutions that eat up your time, this one won’t have you scratching your head or testing endlessly. Simply install this on your client’s site right from the get-go and it’s smooth sailing from there.

Unique "Admin" user role satisfies picky client expectations

Say hello to the “Admin” role – our secret recipe to keep things running like clockwork. It’s the perfect blend of control and restriction, giving clients and webmasters the freedom they need without risking a full-on website meltdown.

Custom Support for Popular WordPress Plugins and Features

Other user role solutions expect your to enter raw code names for permissions or are limited to capabilities that WordPress exposes by default. While Simple Client Dashboard takes it a step further by custom coding beyond standard WordPress permissions.

Try It And Love It, Or Get A Full Refund — Guaranteed!

As a web developer with over 15 years of experience running my own WordPress agency, I know all too well how clients can unknowingly sabotage their websites. Because of this, I made Simple Client Dashboard as a way to fill the gap between the default Editor and Administrator roles.

I’ve used Simple Client Dashboard on all of my client projects, and it’s helped time and time again to cut down on hiccups and messes that lead to unexpected troubleshooting sessions.

We want you to love the plugin! If, for whatever reason, you’re not happy with the functionality or it doesn’t meet your needs, we’ll refund you within 30 days of purchase.

And if you have any questions, just reach out to us! We respond to every email within 1-business day with a thoughtful and genuine response 🙂

Skeptical? That's understandable.

Could I just use a role editing plugin to do the same thing as Simple Client Dashboard?

Yes, although this approach takes quite a bit of setup that you have to do on every customer’s website. Simple Client Dashboard offers a swift one-click solution so you can switch all your clients over quickly and easily incorporate it into your new client workflow. And in addition, most of these plugins are limited to user capabilities, while Simple Client Dashboard offers that plus more capabilities and permissions that just aren’t exposed by WordPress by default through our custom code.

What if I need to support more plugins or themes than what's offered?

If you find a plugin or theme you would like to see included in Simple Client Dashboard, reach out to us! We’d love to hear your insights. We plan to support more themes and plugins over time. And we count every request and keep tabs on which restrictions we need to prioritize and what integrations are important to our customers.

Will my clients know they’re not full administrators?

Probably not; they should still be able to perform most of the tasks they’re interested in, like adding content and managing most website functionality. They would also see their User Role set to “Admin”, which in our experience, satisfies even the most controlling clients. We suggest adding something in your project maintenance contracts that suggests that your agency is set as the “Super-Admin,” and that would be the only ones who can make drastic changes to their sites, such as changing themes and installing plugins.
