Scope of service
What Newt Labs usually helps with, and when a different route makes more sense
The Scope of Service gives you a clear overview of the kind of work Newt Labs usually handles, what may sit outside routine scope, and when it makes sense to use a care plan, a one-off service, a project, or a quick conversation first.
The aim is to reduce guesswork, not make things harder.
If your request sits in a grey area, that is normal.
May need a different route
Some requests are better handled through a one-off service, a scoped project, or a quick conversation first.

Usually in scope
What Newt Labs usually helps with
At a broad level, Newt Labs usually helps with the kind of work that keeps a WordPress website updated, stable, secure, supported, and easier to manage over time.
The exact detail depends on the service or plan you choose, but this gives you the general shape of the help we commonly provide.
Routine upkeep and support
Updates, backups, monitoring, troubleshooting, and the practical day-to-day work that helps a website stay healthy and looked after.
Fixes and technical issues
Help with broken features, plugin or theme conflicts, update-related problems, website errors, and other common WordPress issues.
Security and performance work
Security improvements, malware help, speed and performance work, and related checks where included or purchased.
Practical website changes
Smaller website changes, layout adjustments, content-related help, redirects, plugin setup, and other practical improvements that support the site.
Guidance and next-step advice
Clear advice on what the issue is likely to need, whether it fits your current route, and what makes the most sense next.
A high-level guide
Exact inclusions depend on the service or care plan you choose.
Usually outside routine scope
What usually sits outside routine scope
Some requests go beyond normal support or care plan work and are better handled through a one-off service, a scoped project, or a separate conversation first.
That does not automatically mean Newt Labs cannot help. It usually means the work needs a different route, a clearer scope, or a separate quote before anything starts.
Bespoke development work
Custom features, deeper code changes, and work that needs planning, testing, or a separate build process.
Larger website projects
Rebuilds, redesigns, bigger structural changes, and work that clearly sits outside routine upkeep.
Specialist or third-party issues
Problems that depend on external vendors, unusual setups, or systems that need deeper investigation before scope can be confirmed.
Operational or admin-heavy tasks
Work like bulk product entry, wider business admin, marketing activity, or other tasks that are not part of normal website support.
i
Outside routine scope does not always mean outside help
It often just means the work needs the right route, the right scope, or a separate conversation before it starts.
Fit depends on route
How the right route changes the fit
The same request can sit differently depending on what kind of help you need.
Something that falls outside routine care may still be a good fit as a one-off job or a larger scoped project. The task matters, but so does the route it belongs to.
Care plans
Best for ongoing upkeep, regular support, and the kind of work that keeps your website looked after over time.
See Care PlansOne-off services
Best for defined issues, urgent fixes, website changes, speed work, malware cleanups, and other stand-alone tasks.
See One-Off ServicesScoped projects
Best for broader website changes, custom work, rebuilds, and anything that needs a clearer brief and a separate scope.
Discuss a ProjectA task sitting outside one route does not mean it sits outside Newt Labs altogether.
Grey-area requests
Not sure? Ask first
Some requests are straightforward. Others sit in a grey area.
If your request mixes support, design, development, performance, security, or something more bespoke, it is better to ask first than make assumptions.
A simple explanation is enough for us to point you in the right direction.
Good reasons to ask first
1
The request crosses over more than one type of work
2
The website has an unusual setup or plugin dependency
3
The job sounds small but may need deeper work behind the scenes
4
You are not sure whether it fits a care plan, a one-off service, or a project

What should I do if my request sits in a grey area?
Ask first. A quick explanation is usually enough for us to point you to the right next step.
Do I need to know the exact category before getting in touch?
No. You do not need to label it perfectly before asking.
