Skills we screen for in a WordPress Developer

What we screen

Mid–senior operators who own WordPress site → stable customizations → editor-friendly CMS, not plugin pileups.

  • Theme / plugin development — Custom work that survives updates.
  • Performance & security — Caching, hardening, and uptime treated seriously.
  • Content editor UX — Blocks/ACF that marketers can use without breaking pages.
  • Code quality & reviews — Readable PRs; tests where they matter; no silent regressions.
  • Debugging & ownership — Prod issues owned end-to-end — not “works on my machine.”
  • Delivery with product/design — Clarify ambiguity; ship increments that users can feel.

How we vet

How we vet before shortlist:

  • Portfolio / code review — Real shipped work, not toy repos alone.
  • Build exercise — Can they design and ship a small feature under a clear brief?
  • References — Confirmed delivery with eng leads, PMs, or founders.
  • Delivery under pressure — Clear cuts when scope and deadline collide.
  • Founder-ready communication — What’s shipped + what’s next, not buzzword theater.
