Hire a freelance WordPress developer you deal with directly
One senior WordPress developer from first call to launch. No account managers, no hand-offs, fixed prices agreed before work starts.
Why clients hire a freelance WordPress developer instead of a team
Most clients looking for a freelance WordPress developer want three things: someone senior enough to get it right the first time, a price they know in advance, and a person who answers messages. Agencies often give you the price but not the person. Marketplaces give you choice but no way to tell good from average.
I have spent 15+ years building for clients in 6 countries and delivered 100+ projects. When you hire me as your WordPress developer, the person on the discovery call is the person writing the code. I keep plugin counts low on purpose, which is why the sites stay fast after launch.
Three checks for any freelance WordPress developer
- Proof of work — Ask which plugins they avoid and why; a senior WordPress developer has firm opinions here.
- A written scope — deliverables, timeline and price on one page before any money moves.
- Ownership — code, accounts and domains in your name, not the freelancer's.
- A fit for the job — if your need is custom themes or plugin clean-up, ask for examples of exactly that.
What I take on as your WordPress developer
- Custom themes — lean block themes, no bloated page builder stack.
- Plugin clean-up — fewer plugins, fewer conflicts, faster pages.
- Speed and security — caching, image work, updates and hardening.
- Gutenberg blocks — custom blocks your editors can use safely.
- Migrations — moves between hosts or from other platforms without lost rankings.
- Care plans — monthly updates, backups and fixes.
