Hire WordPress Developer Who Goes Beyond Themes

WordPress powers over 40% of the web — and most of it is slow, insecure theme soup. I build WordPress the right way: custom themes, clean plugins, and performance your visitors can feel.

Engineering-grade WordPress

Everyone has a WordPress horror story: the theme with 47 plugins, the developer who vanished, the nine-second load time. With 15+ years as a Solutions Architect and Fractional CTO — including teams at Phaedra Solutions, Integriti, and Nabidios — I have rescued, rebuilt, and scaled WordPress properties for businesses that could not afford downtime. Hiring a WordPress developer here means senior engineering applied to the world's most practical CMS.

I build custom Gutenberg-ready themes, develop plugins when off-the-shelf will not do, run WooCommerce stores that handle real volume, and take WordPress headless when the frontend demands it. Every build ships hardened, cached, and documented — and fast enough that Core Web Vitals stop being a conversation. See how engagements work if you are weighing project vs. retainer.

What you get

WordPress done properly

Custom theme development — Gutenberg-native, ACF-powered themes built from your design — no page-builder bloat, no mystery code, full control over every template.
Custom plugin development — secure, namespaced plugins built to WordPress coding standards for the functionality off-the-shelf plugins almost — but never quite — deliver.
WooCommerce builds — product architecture, checkout optimization, subscriptions, and payment integrations for stores that handle real order volume.
Headless WordPress — WordPress as a content backend via WPGraphQL or the REST API, with a Next.js frontend when you need app-like speed.
Speed optimization — caching strategy, asset optimization, database tuning, and hosting guidance that take Core Web Vitals from red to green.
Security hardening & care — lockdown, update policies, backups, and monitoring — plus monthly care plans so the site stays fast and safe after launch.

How it works

From audit to a site you own

Audit & rescue plan
For existing sites: a full technical audit — performance, security, plugin inventory — with a prioritized fix list. For new builds: requirements and architecture.
Fixed-scope proposal
Clear deliverables, timeline, and fixed price before a line of code is written. Rescue work is scoped by priority so the critical fixes land first.
Build in the open
Development on staging with weekly demos. You see real progress, not status reports.
Launch & care plan
Hardened go-live, documentation, and an optional monthly care plan covering updates, backups, and monitoring.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Custom theme or page builder — which should we choose?

A custom Gutenberg-based theme, almost always. Page builders trade short-term convenience for long-term pain: bloated markup, slow pages, and lock-in. A well-built custom theme is faster, more secure, and cheaper to maintain — and your editors still get a friendly block interface.

Can you speed up our slow WordPress site?

Usually, dramatically. Most slow WordPress sites suffer from the same fixable causes: unoptimized images, render-blocking assets, no caching strategy, and plugin overload. My audit identifies the real bottlenecks and the optimization engagement fixes them in priority order — most sites see 50–70% faster loads.

Is WooCommerce right for our store?

If you need full ownership, no monthly platform fees, and deep customization — yes. If you want the simplest possible setup and are happy with SaaS pricing, Shopify may fit better. I build on both philosophies across my practice and will give you a straight recommendation.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Yes — monthly care plans covering core, theme, and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and security scans, with a guaranteed response time. It is the cheapest insurance a WordPress site can buy.

Can you take over from our previous developer?

Yes, and it is a common engagement. I start with a code and access audit, document what exists, secure what is fragile, and then either stabilize or rebuild — whichever the audit says is more economical for you.
