WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) used to build and manage websites. Thousands of independent developers code, maintain and support the platform, and it powers millions of websites.

In fact, two out of five websites use WordPress!

One of the things that makes WordPress so popular is you don’t need to hire dedicated WordPress developers to use it. A non-technical person can manage written content, images, and videos on a WordPress site without knowing how to program.

However, the world of WordPress truly opens up when experienced devs get their hands on the code to create custom plugins and themes. This need for customization means lots of companies are looking to hire WordPress developers who can effortlessly design, develop, and manage WordPress websites.

For these reasons, WordPress developers are in high demand, so you may face an uphill battle if you want to hire dedicated WordPress developers for part-time or full-time jobs. The hiring process can also be exhausting, and hiring developers who aren’t the right fit for your company can cost you thousands of dollars.

The good news is we can help. Here at Gun.io, we’ve helped hundreds of companies – from Fortune 500s to startups – hire WordPress developers with years of experience. And because we know communication is vital, we’ll help you hire WordPress experts fluent in English.

So you can trust us to hire a WordPress developer (or three) for your development needs!

Why hire a WordPress developer

Although WordPress is beginner-friendly, there are many reasons why you should hire dedicated WordPress developers to build your site. As well as saving you time and money, WordPress developers can also help you with:

• Designing your site to match your company’s branding
• Using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to increase your chances of ranking on Google
• Hosting and uptime monitoring to manage your monthly bandwidth, storage, and other server-related needs

Depending on the scale of your product and services, you may need to hire multiple developers or even a whole remote developer team to help keep your business running. Here at Gun, we can help. We’ve been helping companies like yours hire talented developers for over a decade.

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire dedicated WordPress developers with Gun.io?

We get a lot of questions about how to hire WordPress developers and how much they’ll cost. The short answer is this: If you have a budget, we can design a solution to suit your needs. But planning for a future headcount is much easier when you have numbers and data. 

With this in mind, we don’t have standard prices on Gun.io. Instead, we offer flexible retainers based on your needs, the project, and the developers’ salary expectations. These retainers start at $5,000 per month. This price includes Gun.io’s fee, and you’ll see the total price upfront on developers’ profiles. There are no extra fees.

To help you move forward and hire WordPress developers, we’ve gathered data from recent hires on the Gun.io platform. These numbers represent the averages and ranges for developer costs within their respective experience and geography bands. 

This data is a great place to understand how companies you’re competing with think about their investment with each hire.

We recommend using this data as a guide. You’ll still need to consider other factors to determine what will best meet your needs.

Can I hire a WordPress developer part-time?

Yes, you can! At Gun.io, you can hire WordPress developers on a full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire basis.
