Before you hire a developer

Investment Protected

Free consultation. Concept in 48 hours. Pay nothing until you approve the direction.

How much does it cost to hire a freelance WordPress developer?

Project costs depend on scope — a focused lead-generation site, a full WooCommerce store, or a complex custom platform each have different requirements. I provide custom quotes after a free consultation so you pay for what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Is my investment protected?

Yes — your investment is protected. You pay nothing until you approve the project direction. Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a preliminary concept within 48 hours, so you can see the approach before committing. You only move forward when you're confident in the plan, scope, and custom quote — no pressure, no surprises.

How long does it take to build a WordPress website?

Most business websites take 2–6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on page count, integrations, and how quickly content is provided. You receive a preliminary concept within 48 hours of our first conversation, and I share a realistic timeline before any work begins.

What's the difference between custom WordPress and a template?

Templates and page builders are fast to set up but often load slower, are harder to customize, and can limit SEO. Custom WordPress development is built around your brand and conversion goals — clean code, faster performance, and a site you fully own without bloated plugins.

Do you build WooCommerce and e-commerce websites?

Yes. I build full WooCommerce stores including product catalogs, payment gateways, shipping rules, inventory workflows, and mobile-optimized checkout flows designed to reduce cart abandonment.

Can you speed up my existing WordPress website?

Yes. I optimize Core Web Vitals through image compression, caching, CDN configuration, plugin cleanup, and code improvements. Most sites I work on target sub-2-second load times on mobile and desktop, with before-and-after metrics provided.

Do you offer WordPress SEO services?

SEO is built into every project — clean URL structure, on-page optimization, schema markup, sitemap setup, and technical foundations that help Google crawl your site correctly. I also support local SEO for service-area businesses and Google Business Profile optimization.

Do you provide ongoing WordPress maintenance?

Yes. Maintenance plans include security updates, backups, plugin updates, uptime monitoring, and small content changes so your site stays fast, secure, and current after launch.

Why hire a freelance WordPress developer instead of an agency?

You work directly with the person building your site — no account managers or handoffs. That means faster communication, lower overhead, and senior-level expertise on every project. For most small and mid-size businesses, that delivers better results at a fairer price.

What do I need before starting a WordPress project?

At minimum: your business goals, target audience, and any brand assets (logo, colors, copy). Don't have everything ready? That's fine — I help define structure and content strategy during the consultation phase.

Do you work with clients outside the United States?

Yes. I work with businesses worldwide. I'm available during US business hours for calls and communicate proactively via email throughout the project.

Do you work with marketing agencies?

Yes. Agencies hire me as a white-label or direct development partner for custom WordPress builds, WooCommerce projects, performance fixes, and ongoing client maintenance.

What happens after I submit the contact form?

I review your project details and respond within 24 hours with a free consultation. If we're a good fit, you'll receive a preliminary concept within 48 hours and a custom quote — no obligation to proceed.
