Hire a WordPress developer without the freelancer hunt

WordPress jobs tend to fall into two groups. The first is repair: a plugin update that took the site down, a critical error after the host bumped PHP to 8.2, a contact form that stopped sending, or a page builder layout that broke on mobile. The second is building: a custom theme from a design, custom Gutenberg blocks so your team can edit landing pages without wrecking the layout, or custom post types for listings, events or case studies.

For repairs, the agent works on a staging copy first, finds the cause rather than deactivating plugins until the error disappears, and documents what it changed. For builds, it writes a child theme or block theme instead of editing a theme you'll later update and overwrite, and registers blocks with block.json or ACF so they behave like native ones in the editor. Every delivery is reviewed by a GrahAI engineer before it goes near your live site.

Speed work is common and worth scoping honestly. Usually the gains come from removing plugins you don't use, fixing render-blocking scripts, serving properly sized images, and adding caching that suits your host. We measure before and after and show you the numbers. Store-specific work — checkout, payments, shipping, product variations — has its own page under WooCommerce developer, since that's a different set of problems.
