How to Hire the Right WordPress Developer
The difference between a good and bad WordPress developer can mean thousands of dollars in rework and lost revenue. Here's how to find the right one.
What to Look For
Portfolio with similar projects: Have they built sites like what you need? Look for quality, not quantity.
Clean code practices: Ask if they follow WordPress coding standards. A developer who writes clean code saves you money on future maintenance.
Communication skills: Technical ability means nothing if they can't explain their work or understand your needs.
Post-launch support: What happens after the site goes live? Good developers offer maintenance plans.
Red Flags
Extremely low prices (you get what you pay for), no portfolio or references, promises of "#1 on Google in 30 days," unwillingness to provide a detailed proposal, and no clear project timeline.
Questions to Ask
1. How do you handle revisions and scope changes?
2. Will I own the code and domain?
3. What's your approach to SEO and page speed?
4. How do you handle security and backups?
5. What does your post-launch support look like?
