Hire Wordpress Developer
7+ Years Building Production Systems | Backend Architecture & Full-Stack Solutions
I develop custom WordPress themes and plugins that are secure, maintainable, and optimized for performance.
WordPress projects I take on: custom theme builds from a Figma design (no page builder drag-and-drop — clean PHP, proper child theme structure), custom plugin development for functionality no existing plugin covers, WooCommerce stores with custom shipping logic or product configurators, and performance audits on existing WordPress sites where plugin bloat has taken LCP to 8 seconds. I also do WordPress migrations (cPanel to a VPS with Nginx), security hardening for sites that have been compromised, and ACF field group design for content teams that need structured data without code.

WordPress Development That Doesn't Create Technical Debt
WordPress can be built right or built fast. Here's how to get both.
34 active plugins, three of which do the same thing. LCP 9 seconds on mobile. Every new plugin adds 2–3 requests and slows the site further.
Plugin audit — remove duplicates, replace heavy plugins with lightweight custom code where appropriate. Target: under 12 active plugins for most sites, LCP under 2.5s.
WooCommerce major version update breaks a payment gateway. Checkout down during peak hours. Customer support overwhelmed.
All updates applied to a staging clone first. Visual regression compared before pushing to production. One-click rollback available using UpdraftPlus if something breaks.
Malware injected via an outdated plugin. Google Search Console shows hacked pages. Site blacklisted. SEO rankings destroyed.
Core, themes, and plugins updated. Wordfence installed and configured. Login URL changed, XML-RPC disabled, file permissions locked down, and 2FA on admin accounts.
All content locked inside Elementor or Divi shortcodes. Switching themes destroys the site. Content completely dependent on the page builder being maintained.
Custom Gutenberg blocks or clean PHP templates. Content stored as standard WordPress post content — not vendor-locked shortcodes. Theme change doesn't break your pages.
Full-time hiring takes 2–3 months of recruiting, interviews, and notice periods. Your roadmap sits idle.
No recruiting pipeline, no notice period. Reach out today and we can be writing code by end of week.
Account managers relay messages to developers you've never spoken to. Feedback takes days to reach the person building.
You talk directly to me — the person writing every line. Slack, email, or video. No middlemen, no message relay.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectHow It Works
A straightforward process built for fast starts and transparent delivery.
Tell Me About Your Project
Send the project form with your requirements, timeline, and what success looks like. I respond within 24 hours with questions and a scoping proposal.
Agree on Scope & Rate
We align on deliverables, timeline, and engagement model — hourly, fixed-price, or retainer. A signed agreement before any code is written.
WordPress Audit + Staging Clone
Existing site cloned to staging. Plugin audit run. Core Web Vitals measured on staging. Child theme or custom theme scaffold created. ACF field groups designed for content team.
Template-by-Template Development on Staging
Each page template developed and reviewed on staging with real content. WooCommerce checkout tested across payment methods. Mobile tested on real device each milestone.
Launch: Performance Verified + Security Hardened
Core Web Vitals green, Wordfence active, all plugins up to date, UpdraftPlus backup scheduled, SSL configured, and Yoast SEO sitemap submitted. Training for whoever manages content.
Transparent process, no surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
Code, IP, repository, deployment credentials — all yours from day one.
Daily or weekly async updates. You always know what's built, what's next, what's blocked.
Common Questions
How quickly can I start?
Within 24–48 hours after scope is agreed.
How do we communicate?
Directly — Slack, email, or video. No account managers or relay chains.
What if requirements change?
Changes discussed openly — scope and timeline impact agreed before proceeding.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP ownership transferred on delivery. No strings attached.

Pricing & Rates
Transparent, flexible pricing that scales with your project complexity and needs
What Affects Service Rate
Project Complexity
Simple CRUD apps differ from microservices architecture or real-time systems.
Technical Responsibility
Architecting systems costs more than executing well-defined tasks.
Time Commitment
Long-term engagements (retainers) may have different rates than hourly work.
Team Scaling
Managing additional developers or handling team coordination increases cost.
Ongoing Support
Maintenance, monitoring, and continuous improvements have different pricing models.
Engagement Models
Perfect for smaller projects, quick fixes, or when scope isn't fully defined. You pay only for time spent.
Clear scope, defined deliverables, and fixed price. Great when you know exactly what you need.
Ongoing monthly commitment for continuous work, maintenance, or on-call support. Lower rates for predictable work.
Pricing is always discussed upfront and aligned with scope. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why. No unexpected bills, no vague fees.
Pricing Questions
Can I get a discount for longer engagements?
Yes. Retainer arrangements and long-term commitments typically have lower rates than hourly work, reflecting the stability and predictability.
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Absolutely. If your project scope is clear and defined, i can agree on a fixed price upfront with specific deliverables and timeline.
What if scope changes mid-project?
We discuss and adjust transparently. Changes are tracked, impact is calculated, and i align on new pricing or timeline before proceeding.
Do rates go up for more complex work?
Yes. Complex architecture, real-time systems, or leadership responsibilities command higher rates. This reflects the skill and accountability required.
Do you offer payment plans or installments?
We can discuss flexible payment schedules for larger projects. Typically, installments align with project milestones and deliverables.
How do i determine the final rate?
During our initial conversation, I'll understand your project scope, complexity, and needs. Then i'll discuss what makes sense and agree on pricing.
