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.
