2. Hiring the right person to develop your website can be a challenge, especially if you’re doing it yourself or working with someone who doesn’t have experience with WordPress development. There are many things to consider when making this important decision, and we’ll give you some useful tips on how to go about it right here! Here are ten things you need to keep in mind when hiring your next WordPress developer: www.appsdevpro.com Page 02 of 11

3. 1. Be clear on your end goal When you begin your search for a developer, it’s critical that you’re clear on what your end goal is. This will go a long way in ensuring that you find someone who fits your unique needs. Be sure to clearly explain any non-negotiables, as well as your desired timeline and budget. This also helps eliminate candidates who may not be right for you — there’s no point wasting time on someone who isn’t equipped to meet your specific needs. Asking developers what types of WordPress sites they’ve built in the past can also help narrow down potential matches. www.appsdevpro.com Page 03 of 11

4. 2. Ask if they are familiar with your specific issue Ask if they are familiar with your specific issue. There’s no shame in admitting you need help; when it comes to hiring someone new, you should make sure they’re up-to-date on current trends and developments. Ask how they would approach your situation or if they have any recommendations for resources or software that can help you out. If you already know some of their preferences or background, be sure to take that into account as well. Don’t get too down on yourself if not everyone responds — sometimes freelancers just like hearing from people, even if it isn’t about work. www.appsdevpro.com Page 04 of 11

5. 3. Ask how they would tackle your problems It’s important that you pick your developer based on their proven experience tackling real- world problems similar to yours. Ask how they would tackle your problems and what they have learned from doing so in their past projects. Listen carefully for their response because it will tell you everything you need to know about how they think and work, as well as whether or not they are right for your job. In addition, talk to current or former clients of theirs and make sure those people are happy with them too. www.appsdevpro.com Page 05 of 11

6. 4. Ask what skills they have to help you When you’re interviewing developers to see if they can help you create your site, it’s a good idea to ask them what skills they have to help you build it. What kind of other sites have they built in addition to their portfolio? Does that expertise match up with what you need or want for your business or personal site? You should also make sure they know how to work with all types of WordPress sites — not just those on Wix and Squarespace, which are probably not what you want. www.appsdevpro.com Page 06 of 11

7. 5. Look at their portfolio Find out if they have experience developing sites with WordPress and a portfolio of past projects. Be sure to look at these closely so you can see their level of expertise, how complex their projects are, how good their code is, and what kind of themes or plugins they use. There’s no point in getting someone who can do something awesome — it’s completely pointless if they don’t know how to do it on your site. For example, if you have an ecommerce website using WooCommerce, you need developers who understand that platform. There are many different kinds of software out there; make sure your developer has experience using whatever technology you’re using on your site. www.appsdevpro.com Page 07 of 11

8. 6. Ask what support channels they offer When you’re working with an outside party, especially on a project that involves content and copy, it’s vital to make sure they offer solid support channels. When you’re spending money, it’s important that you have someone to turn to when something goes wrong. At minimum, ask what methods of communication they offer — chat platforms like Skype or Zoom are great for troubleshooting quick questions while emails and phone calls are better for complex issues. It is also important that your developer has direct access to your site. With platforms like Squarespace or Wix it can be difficult at times for developers of other platforms to get into your site so we would encourage you to use WordPress as it is one of the most versatile ways out there! www.appsdevpro.com Page 08 of 11

9. Conclusion : Hiring a WordPress development team can be challenging, but there are some things you can do beforehand to ensure that your project and resources won’t go to waste. Hire a WordPress development team who are qualified in their field, stay open-minded, and keep communication channels open. A developer’s level of experience (both with WordPress specifically and with coding in general) are top-of-mind when making an initial decision. But it doesn’t stop there — you’ll also want to know how flexible your developer is and whether or not they do both frontend and backend work. With so many moving parts, you’ll want to feel confident that your developer has what it takes for success. www.appsdevpro.com Page 11 of 11
