AfterOur approach
// Bounded WP_Query, escaped output

Illustrative WordPress code: an unbounded query and unescaped input → a bounded query and escaped output.

FAQ

WordPress & WooCommerce developer FAQ

Ask something else

There is no single rate for WordPress developers. Cost depends on the seniority you need, the engagement model you choose (adding developers to your team, a dedicated team, or a fixed-price project), how long the engagement runs and the scope of the work. For WordPress work, the biggest drivers are whether the site needs a custom block theme or works within an existing one, the number of custom blocks and content types, how many plugins must be replaced or integrated, and whether the build is headless. Share your requirements and we will come back with a quote for your situation.

Tell us what you need. Interview the engineers.

  1. Share your project or team gap
  2. We recommend WordPress engineers you can interview, or scope the project with you
  3. You interview the engineers before anyone starts
