Hire a WordPress Developer in the Philippines.

We recruit WordPress developers who write real PHP rather than assemble page-builder blocks. Yours builds custom themes and blocks, untangles plugin conflicts, and does the performance work a page builder quietly undoes. They also own migrations, staging, backups, and security hardening, so the site stops being something you are nervous about touching.

We replace any hire inside 90 days
01 · The role

What a wordpress developer actually owns

  • Custom theme and block development
  • Plugin customization, conflict resolution, and light plugin authoring
  • Performance optimization and Core Web Vitals work
  • Migrations, staging workflow, and safe deployments
  • Security hardening and maintenance routines
02 · The screen

What we test before you meet anyone

  • A live plugin-conflict debugging exercise on a broken staging site
  • Whether they write PHP or only assemble Elementor blocks, asked directly and then verified
  • Their approach to performance: caching layers, query count, asset loading
  • Update, backup, and security discipline on sites they maintain

Where wordpress developer searches usually go wrong.

The market is enormous and mostly page-builder operators, so developers who write proper PHP and can debug a plugin conflict are a small subset of it. The rest have portfolios of template installations and have never written a theme or fixed something a builder could not.

Before you send the brief.

How do you screen wordpress developers?
Every wordpress developer search runs the same checks before anyone reaches you. A live plugin-conflict debugging exercise on a broken staging site. Whether they write PHP or only assemble Elementor blocks, asked directly and then verified. Their approach to performance: caching layers, query count, asset loading. Update, backup, and security discipline on sites they maintain. You see the notes from each one alongside the candidates we recommend.
