// The role
What our WordPress developers build.
Our WordPress developers build sites marketing teams can run on their own: custom block themes, Advanced Custom Fields, WooCommerce stores and plugins written for your business, not stacked from the marketplace.
Hire one to build a new site, take over an existing one that has become slow or fragile, or connect WordPress to your CRM, ERP or a headless front end.

// How we vet

The WordPress stack our WordPress developers work in
Themes and blocks

Commerce
WooCommerce with payment gateways, subscriptions, custom checkout fields and shipping, tax and accounting integrations.
Code
PHP 8, WordPress coding standards, custom post types, the REST API and WP-CLI, with code in Git rather than edited on the server.
Hosting and care
Staging sites, automated backups, caching, a CDN, uptime monitoring and security hardening.
// Right hire?
When to hire WordPress developers, and when not to
WordPress vs. custom web app
WordPress is right for content and marketing sites your team edits. Products with complex logic, roles and workflows are better as a custom web application.
WooCommerce vs. Shopify
WooCommerce gives you full control and no platform fees on your own hosting; Shopify is quicker to run with less technical upkeep.
Developer vs. page-builder freelancer
Choose a WordPress developer when you need custom blocks, plugins, integrations or performance, not just a template set up.
// Cost
What affects the cost of hiring WordPress developers
Custom vs. template
A custom block theme takes more build time than a configured theme, but is faster and easier to maintain.
WooCommerce scope
Payments, subscriptions and integrations add more effort than the catalogue itself.
Rescue work
Hacked or plugin-heavy sites need an audit before an estimate.
Ongoing care
Monthly maintenance hours for updates and fixes are priced separately from build work.

// FAQ
Questions?
Do you build custom WordPress themes or use page builders?
Both, depending on who edits the site. We prefer custom block themes; we also work with Elementor when your team already relies on it.
Can you fix a slow or hacked WordPress site?
Yes. We clean up malware, remove unnecessary plugins, update everything safely and set up monitoring and backups.
Do your WordPress developers work on WooCommerce?
Yes: product catalogues, custom checkout fields, payment gateways, subscriptions and integrations with shipping and accounting tools.
Can WordPress connect to our CRM or other systems?
Yes, through the REST API or custom plugins: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, ERPs and custom APIs.
Can you migrate our site to WordPress?
Yes, from Wix, Squarespace, Drupal or a custom CMS: content, media, redirects and SEO settings move with it, so rankings are protected.
Do you offer WordPress maintenance?
Yes: updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, and a set number of support hours each month.
Is headless WordPress worth it?
When you need a very fast front end or several channels from one CMS, yes. For a typical marketing site, a well-built block theme is simpler and cheaper to run.
How fast can a WordPress developer start?
Usually within 48 hours of you approving a profile. You get a shortlist of 3 within 24 hours, and you interview and test every candidate before anyone starts.
What if it's not a fit, and who owns the code?
We replace the developer free of charge. You own all code and designs, with an NDA and IP transfer from day one.
