Hiring WordPress Developers? Then You Should Know How to Work with Custom Plugins!

Take a Step Towards a Premium Website – Hire remote WordPress developers

E-commerce is developing rapidly nowadays, with forecasts predicting that 95% of sales will be made online by 2040. To stay ahead, hire a WordPress developer.

What about small businesses? Unfortunately, almost a third (27%) of small businesses still work without harming the website. And then, they spend great resources for growth.

Ask yourself: are you interested in a website that will be both a showcase for your brand and a powerful tool for business development? So, if you’re ready to maximize your efforts and increase profits, it’s time to think about searching for a WordPress developer for hire. In this text, we will talk about the nuances of the choice.

WordPress: The Best Website Builder (According to Time and Users)

Before blindly searching for WordPress programmers, let’s find out why WordPress and not Wix, Shopify, Adobe Systems, Google Systems, or Squarespace.

WordPress is a platform that was created way back in 2003, but it is still a leader in the CMS market. With a 63.3% market share, it is far ahead of its competitors. By the way, its closest competitor, Shopify, has a share of only 5.6%. To leverage this dominance, hire WordPress developer.

Key Features of This CMS

Why is WordPress dominating the market? The answer is simple: because of its unique features that make it an ideal choice for both beginners and advanced users.

What are these features?

  1. The platform’s features are absolutely free.
  2. Open source for everyone to modify and improve.
  3. An easy-to-understand interface and tons of resources to help you get started, even if you know nothing about coding.
  4. Flexible in creating any type of website, from simple blogs to complex online stores, Pay-Per-View Video Platforms, news, etc.
  5. A secure platform that is regularly updated and licensed under the GNU GPL.
  6. Over 60,000 free and paid plugins and themes to give your website unique features.

As you can see, it is quite possible to create a website from scratch with WordPress. But another question arises: is it better to do it yourself or to use the services of a specialist? Let’s discuss this below.

How to Choose Between a WordPress Freelancer and a Full-time Specialist?

The choice depends on your needs, budget, and goals.

A freelance WordPress developer offers flexibility and more economical rates, but you will have less control over the processes and face the complexity of communication.

A full-time expert gives better control, guaranteed quality, and the possibility of teamwork, but the services will be more expensive.

In general, freelance WordPress specialists are better suited for short-term projects with a limited budget, while full-time ones are better suited for long-term projects that require more control and collaboration.

Creating a Digital Solution: DIY vs. WordPress Experts for Hire

Let’s be honest: the DIY approach seems attractive because it’s a banal cost-saving. On the other hand, cooperation with a specialist ultimately gives better, more professional results, saves time, and relieves you of responsibility for technical aspects.

We suggest considering the advantages of hiring a WordPress website developer.

  • Personalization

Hiring specialists does not mean that they will make decisions on their own. Working together, you’ll develop a design that meets your vision and add relevant features.

  • Expertise

The best WordPress developers have in-depth knowledge and skills when working with a designer. They will help you create a website that meets your needs and goals.

  • Safety and service

Both full-time and freelance experts provide services to support the trouble-free operation of your website. Updates, bug fixes, troubleshooting server errors, taking measures against cyberattacks – these are the responsibilities of such a specialist.

  • Improved optimization

A WordPress expert takes care of SEO during the technical development of the website. It is necessary to improve your ranking in search results and attract more traffic.

  • Saving resources

Creating a WordPress website is not an easy task. Don’t forget about regular maintenance as well. By finding WordPress developers for hire, you will free up time and resources to focus on other non-technical aspects of the business.

  • In addition, even if you started the development yourself, hiring a developer at the later stages of the project is impossible. A specialist will not improve your website but will be forced to build it from scratch.

Range of Services of WordPress Designers and Developers

If you want something more than just a business card website, the help of a WordPress developer will be helpful for you. Don’t ignore it because your competitors are already investing in expert work to gain an edge.

What is the difference between the work of a developer and a designer?

A WordPress developer focuses on creating and maintaining a website. Their tasks include:

  1. Development and customization of themes and plugins.
  2. Integration with other services and APIs.
  3. SEO for search engines.
  4. Website support and updates.

A WordPress designer for hire is responsible for the visual component of the website, namely:

  1. Developing UI and UX design.
  2. Creating page layouts and graphic elements.
  3. Selecting the color scheme and fonts.
  4. Ensuring that brand design matches the target audience.

Often, one specialist performs both functions, and that’s great. You just need to make sure that such an expert has the necessary skills and experience.
