Questions
Hiring a WordPress developer: common questions
Short answers before you write.
What does a WordPress developer do that a page builder does not?
I write the theme and plugins for your site instead of stacking add-ons. You get pages you can edit in wp-admin and code another developer can read. Nothing ships that you do not use.
What kind of work do you take?
Full-time roles, contract work, freelance projects, and agency overflow. WordPress themes and plugins are the core. APIs, React, and deploy work are in range too.
How does a project start?
Send a short note about who the site is for and what it needs to do. I reply with questions, then a written scope and a rough timeline. Work starts after you approve it.
Who owns the site when it is done?
You do. You own the domain, hosting, database, and code. I leave a short admin guide and stay reachable for questions.
Where are you, and when do you work?
I am in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and I work Eastern Time. I work remote with shops and agencies anywhere.
Can I see your work first?
Yes. The Projects page has themes and plugins with live demos, and the code is on GitHub.
Want to work together?
Recruiters can write through the contact form. Shops can browse projects. I usually reply within one business day (ET).
