Hiring a WordPress Developer: FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?

At SPLIT Development, WordPress developers start at $35 per hour. The rate covers the developer, a project manager, a tech lead and a backup developer. Unused hours roll over for one month.

Can I hire a WordPress developer part-time?

Yes. You can hire a dedicated WordPress developer for a fixed number of hours per month or full-time. Many sites start with part-time hours and add more as the task list grows.

Do your developers work with WooCommerce?

Yes. SPLIT Development developers build and maintain WooCommerce stores, custom product types, checkout changes and integrations.

Do you build with Gutenberg or page builders?

Both. New sites get custom Gutenberg blocks, and existing sites built on Elementor or other page builders are supported as they are.

Who owns the code your developer writes?

You do. Themes and plugins built for your site belong to you, and if the engagement ends you get full access and a handover.

Why hire through an agency instead of a freelancer?

A freelancer works alone, so work stops when they are sick, busy or gone. At SPLIT Development a backup developer already knows your site, and a tech lead reviews the code before release.
