Sound familiar?
Your website to-do list keeps growing
You know what the site needs. Finding someone you can trust to do it is the hard part.
- Your last developer stopped answering
- Marketplace quotes are all over the place
- A plugin needs changing and nobody knows the code
- An update broke a custom feature
- Small changes wait for weeks
- You paid for it cheap, then paid again to fix it
What waiting costs
A stuck website quietly costs you customers
Every week a broken form or a missing feature sits there, people who wanted to buy from you leave. And every new freelancer has to learn your site from scratch, on your dime.
Your website should work for you, not the other way around.
You did not start your business to chase developers. When you call us, you talk to the people doing the work, not a ticket queue.

What our WordPress developers build and fix
From one new feature to a full takeover, the same team does the work and keeps it running afterward.
Custom plugins and theme changes
Plugins written in PHP for the way your business works and theme changes that fit your brand. See custom WordPress plugin development
Features and integrations
Booking, forms, payments and connections to the tools you already use.
WooCommerce development
Checkout changes, product setups and store fixes that keep orders coming in, from WooCommerce developers who also run our WooCommerce maintenance.
Fixes beyond updates
Advanced troubleshooting when something breaks that an update did not cause.
Speed work
Slow pages tracked down and fixed, from heavy plugins to oversized images. See WordPress speed optimization
Takeovers and migrations
Sites someone else built, picked up where the last developer left off, or moved to a new host.

Hire a WordPress developer in three steps
Tell us what you need
Call or book a time to talk. Plain English is fine. We ask the right questions.
Get your free estimate
We tell you the hours and the price before any work starts. It is free, with no obligation.
We build it and look after it
We test on a copy of your site, launch it, and keep it working.
Marketplace freelancer, agency or Your WP Guy?
All three can build what you need. The difference is who answers when you call, and what happens after launch.
| Question | Marketplace freelancer | Agency | Your WP Guy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks up the phone | Depends on the person | Often an account manager | We do, on every plan |
| After launch | They move on to the next gig | Usually a separate support contract | We keep it working with a care plan |
| Testing | Up to the person | Usually on a staging site | On a copy of your site first |
| If they disappear | You start over with someone new | The agency stays, the team may change | A team that has been here since 2016 |
| A dedicated developer | Hard to keep the same person | Often a large monthly minimum | Palladium, from five hours a week |
| Price | Bids that vary widely | Higher rates, often with project minimums | $175 an hour on a plan, $250 without |
What to ask before you hire any WordPress developer
Whoever you hire, these six answers tell you how the work will go. Here is how we answer them.
- Will you test changes on a copy of my site first? We always do. Changes are built and tested on a copy, then moved to your live site.
- Who keeps it working after launch? We do. Updates can break custom work, so we keep looking after it, on a care plan or as needed.
- Do I own the code and the logins? Yes. Your site, your code and your logins stay yours.
- Will you quote the hours before you start? Yes. Every quote is a free estimate with no obligation, and nothing extra is charged without your OK.
- What happens if you are not available? You are not depending on one person. Our team has looked after business sites since 2016, and you can call us.
- How will we communicate during the project? You talk directly with the people doing the work, by phone or email, and we check with you before anything changes on your live site.
