I\u2019ll also give a breakdown of how to approach a job. There are some specific things to keep in mind when creating a brief, vetting candidates, and ultimately hiring someone.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, WordPress developers and designers typically can work from anywhere<\/a> (like we do here at WPMU DEV). That leaves the playing field wide open for a vast variety of choices of individuals that don\u2019t need to live down the road from you.<\/p>\n
If you’re new to the game and looking to hire some WordPress talent for the first time, this post offers a few suggestions on the best places to get you started.\u00a0You\u2019ll know where to hire your next developer or designer from without scouring the entire web which, let\u2019s face it, could take a while\u2026<\/p>\n
All of these websites are places you can find a WordPress developer or designer worldwide and can help you develop a shortlist of potential candidates in no time.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Codeable<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n![\"Codeable\"](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Codeable.png\")
Codeable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Codeable<\/a> is a platform that matches customers to the best WordPress experts from around the world. All of the WordPress developers are vetted, monitored, and ensured to deliver quality work. They offer free estimates, no obligation to hire, and it’s 100% risk-free.<\/p>\n
What’s really nice is how they’ll find the perfect fit for you when it comes to a developer or designer. You’ll get matched up in under a day with their simple 3-step process:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
- \n
- Tell them what you need.<\/li>\n
- They connect you with the right developers.<\/li>\n
- Get one price, hire, and start collaborating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
You’ll begin by completing a form and let them know exactly what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
![\"Codeable](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Codeable-submit-a-project.png\")
Where you’ll submit a project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n It’s then just a matter of filling out a brief. Get as detailed as you can in this section so that it’s very clear what you want to accomplish with your WordPress site.<\/p>\n
![\"Codeable](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Codeable-project-details.png\")
Where all of the project details are entered.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You’ll then enter what you think the complexity of your website project will be and the urgency of it.<\/p>\n
After entering this information, you’ll actually get a quick estimate of what your particular project will start at.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\n![\"developer](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/developing-or-designing-a-site.png\")
In this case, the initial estimate is $5,310 USD.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When you continue from here, you’ll create an account, publish your project, and you’ll soon be hearing back from several qualified developers and designers.<\/p>\n
The project will get a fixed price estimate that is based on the total scope to be completed, complexity, and urgency.<\/p>\n
![\"Codeable](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/codeabe-pricing.png\")
How Codeable pricing works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The rates range from $70 to $120 per hour. For qualified professionals and service, it’s worth it. You know you’ll be getting exactly what you want.<\/p>\n
They have experts that can help with themes, plugins, and — as they say — know WordPress inside out.<\/p>\n
Plus, they can save you a lot of time. With their rigorous vetting process, it’s ensured that you’ll only work with the best possible talent. You won’t spend gobs of time filtering out unqualified developers or designers.<\/p>\n
Over 15,000 businesses have trusted Codeable to hire remote talent. You’re in good hands with them to find your next WordPress developer or designer for any project big or small.<\/p>\n
<\/a>WordPress Jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/jobs.wordpress.net-job-board.png\")
jobs.wordpress.net<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n WordPress Jobs<\/a> is a great resource and is the official WordPress jobs listing page. It\u2019s free and one of the quickest ways to post a job and find talent.<\/p>\n
To get started, you can easily fill out a form under the Post Job<\/strong> tab for free and then submit it for review. You don\u2019t even need to set up an account.<\/p>\n
![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wordpress-jobs-post-a-job.png\")
Information to fill out when posting a job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Each post is carefully reviewed before being accepted on its listings. Then, once approved, the listings remain active for 21 days and there are various positions that cover all things WordPress (e.g. design, development, migrations, etc.).<\/p>\n
![\"An](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/job-on-wordpress-jobs.png\")
An example post for a WordPress web developer. As you can see, applicants apply by email in this case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The job categories are organized so your job is easy to find for any candidate with the right skills.<\/p>\n
Though you\u2019ll have to vet your prospective developer or designer through their application on your own (WordPress.org has no control over who may reach out to you), it\u2019s a great place to begin the process of finding someone for a project or fulltime employment.<\/p>\n
Pricing will vary immensely and you\u2019ll discover that some developers and designers charge much more than others. This is often due to location, experience, and workload.<\/p>\n
Sure, you have to do your own vetting, but it\u2019s free to use. And the perfect WordPress pro might be a few clicks away.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Toptal<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Toptal](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/toptal-homepage.png\")
Toptal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n If you\u2019re looking to hire top talent and don\u2019t feel like combing through a bunch of resumes from folks that you\u2019re not sure are professional or not, Toptal<\/a> is a great choice.<\/p>\n
Their name \u201cToptal\u201d comes from Top Talent. That means their goal is to find and work with the best WordPress talent. To do that, they have a rigorous screening process that identifies the experts. (P.S., nice play on words there, Toptal.)<\/p>\n
Out of thousands of applications each month, Toptal typically accepts fewer than 3%, which means you\u2019re in good hands with your developer or designer.<\/p>\n
To hire talent, it has you answer a few questions of what exactly you\u2019re looking for (e.g. how long you need the designer, type of work, etc.). You can also decide on the duration of the projects and budget.<\/p>\n
![\"Getting](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/toptal-get-started.png\")
To get the ball rolling, you\u2019ll answer some questions to create a specific job and category.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Once you get your form filled out, Toptal is very interpersonal. They set up a skype or phone call with a representative that can be arranged at your convenience. That\u2019s right — personalized service.<\/p>\n
![\"Form](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/toptal-request-a-call.png\")
Scheduling form to arrange a time to talk about your project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n When reviewing professionals, their profiles are very detailed. They contain a resume, portfolio, skills, experience, location, recommendations, and more.<\/p>\n
![\"Toptal](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/developer-profile.png\")
Part of a developer\u2019s profile on Toptal. Source: https:\/\/www.toptal.com\/resume\/vladimir-mitrovic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n There is a cost to using their service to recruit someone. It\u2019s a $500 deposit, however, it can be applied to your first bill when you find a WordPress developer or designer. That price seems fair considering the exceptional candidates it provides.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s also nice is there\u2019s no-risk recruitment where companies can work with a preferred freelancer at no cost for a trial period of up to two weeks. If the company is satisfied with the work they\u2019re then billed.<\/p>\n
Based on the site\u2019s user reviews and client feedback, developers listed on Toptal seem to develop high-quality professional work. Sure, you\u2019ll be paying premium prices for it (most freelancers start from $60 per hour) but the costs, communication, and professionalism are a worthwhile investment for whatever WordPress development you need.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Envato Studio<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Envato](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Envato-studio.png\")
Envato Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Envato Studio<\/a> consists of hand-picked WordPress developers and designers.<\/p>\n
They make it easy to work with the right talent by comparing prices, portfolios, community recommendations, and more.<\/p>\n
You search what you\u2019re looking for, supply a brief to the talent, and then Envato Studio takes payment. Payment is held until the job is completed and you\u2019re completely satisfied with the outcome.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s quick to get started. Just type in what you\u2019re looking for on their conveniently placed search bar.<\/p>\n
![\"Search](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/envato-studios-jobs.png\")
As you can see, searching for \u201cwordpress development\u201d returned 997 services.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You can limit the search by including a price range, turnaround time, location, and sorting. If the number is too high, try to customize it down.<\/p>\n
Once you have a comfortable amount of options to browse through, click on the choice that seems like it might be a good fit to get a closer look at the professional\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n
![\"A](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/envato-profile.png\")
A profile page on Envato.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n In the profile, all the reviews, jobs, and repeat clients are listed. You can also contact the WordPress developer directly.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll see prices and the amount of time it takes for the service. After you browse the portfolios and individual services, you provide a quick brief to the one that works best.<\/p>\n
![\"Where](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/envato-brief.png\")
Where you\u2019d provide a brief about your project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n They also have a job management tool that helps with the collaborations by adding file sharing, feedback, and more with their inbuilt messaging.<\/p>\n
When the work is done and approved, the talent that you hired will hand over all deliverables and that\u2019s that. Pretty easy system to manage and to work with.<\/p>\n
You can get a nice feel for potential developers and designers to hire because it clearly shows how many jobs they\u2019ve done, their recommendation percentage, and how many repeat clients they have.<\/p>\n
The prices and time frame for projects vary, but typically start at around $50 and it goes up from there.<\/p>\n
For simplicity, ease of use, and flexibility, Envato Studio is a great option.<\/p>\n
<\/a>WP Hired<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"WP](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WP-Hired.png\")
WP Hired<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n WP Hired is a simple and cheap platform for posting jobs and then recruiting talent.<\/p>\n
Similar to WordPress Jobs, you\u2019ll have to vet your own applications based on applications alone. There are no reviews and anyone can apply to a job or project that you post. A potential developer or designer simply uploads their resume and can add a cover letter.<\/p>\n
To post a job, you will have to create an account. However, this is free to do. You can choose from freelance jobs all the way to fulltime.<\/p>\n
![\"Where](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-hired-post-job.png\")
Where you\u2019ll sign in to post a job once an account is created.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Your job will be featured for 30-days with the free posting. Keep in mind you can post an unlimited amount of jobs at no cost, which is a terrific attribute.<\/p>\n
![\"Example](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/wp-hired-job-listing.png\")
Example of a job posting where qualified candidates can apply.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n If you want to upgrade, for $39.99, you can post three jobs that will get featured job credits, posted for 60 days, and also included in their weekly newsletter. There\u2019s also an option for $69.99 for five jobs with the same benefits as the $39.99 price. All of the paid options also get featured on their social media feeds.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s nothing fancy about WP Hired (not the bells and whistles that some other options have), but that\u2019s okay. For a no-cost option, with pricing available for premium features, it\u2019s worth posting a job there if you\u2019re on a budget and have time to scout for the perfect candidate.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Freelancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Freelancer.\"](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/freelancer-homepage.png\")
Freelancer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Freelancer<\/a> is an extremely popular marketplace for freelancers looking for work. Any WordPress developer or designer can upload a profile and portfolio and bid on projects.<\/p>\n
You simply give the details about the work that needs to be completed, add a budget, post the project for free, and professionals that fit the skillset will bid on the work.<\/p>\n
![\"Freelancer](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/freelancer-what-needs-done.png\")
What you\u2019ll fill out to post a job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Once your job posting goes live, it will appear under a specific category, where it\u2019s searchable for freelancers to find and bid on the proposal.<\/p>\n
![\"Example](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/freelancer-brief.png\")
Example of a WordPress development job on Freelancer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You\u2019ll be able to browse freelancer profiles, chat in real-time, compare proposals, and then award your project to the WordPress rockstar that is best.<\/p>\n
Freelancers are rated by a star system, so immediately you can get a good idea of how well they\u2019ve worked with previous clients.<\/p>\n
![\"Freelancer](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/freelancer-bids.png\")
Some of the bids on a WordPress proposal. You can see the difference in bids; ranging from $20 to $200.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You pay only when you\u2019re 100% satisfied with the work. Once you are, the payments are released safely and securely with their DigiCert 4096-bit SSL encryption.<\/p>\n
You will need to set up an account to post a project. Also, though it\u2019s free to post a project, a 3% project fee is collected when your payment is processed.<\/p>\n
The price range truly varies depending on the scope of the project. It can be anything from a few bucks to thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n
Freelancer is a great option for short-term projects. If you\u2019re looking to hire a WordPress developer or designer full or parttime, it\u2019s probably not the best website to use. However, it can be a quick fix to get the job done when needed.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Upwork<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Upwork](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Upwork-homepage.png\")
Upwork<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Upwork<\/a> (formally Elance) is a marketplace where you can post a WordPress development or design project and prospective freelancers can bid for the job. It\u2019s considered one of the largest online job marketplaces available.<\/p>\n
Similar to many of our other options, it\u2019s free to post a project. You\u2019ll just need to create an account, describe what needs to be done, a budget, and then Upwork connects you with talent, either locally or around the world.<\/p>\n
You can specify a fixed amount and if you\u2019re willing to go off-budget for the perfect candidate.<\/p>\n
![\"Upwork](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brief.jpg\")
An example brief.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Once you have posted the job, you can invite freelancers that seem like a good match. Also, you\u2019ll be able to view all of the proposals potential candidates submit.<\/p>\n
![\"Proposals](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/proposals.jpg\")
A look at some of the proposals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The proposals have the rate, amount earned while on Upwork, job success, and location. You can reach out to them directly here and can hire with a click of a button.<\/p>\n
Upwork also lets people collaborate in finding and selecting suitable web developers, so someone can post the job and someone else can vet the applicants. You can invite team members and create a whole organization to get the project completed.<\/p>\n
![\"An](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/recruit-as-a-team.jpg\")
An invite to join a team on Upwork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The rates vary depending. Obviously, if you have just a quick-fix and need a developer\u2019s help, it can probably be done at a low rate. However, for bigger projects, the rates will be higher.<\/p>\n
Upwork is a great site to connect with professionals, show transparent workflow, and to keep payments organized – by team or individually – and ensure the development or designer task is being completed in time, on budget, and exactly how it needs to be done.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Developers for Hire<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"Developers](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/developers-for-hire.png\")
Developers For Hire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Developers for Hire<\/a> is unique because, like this article (yes, the one you\u2019re reading), it will help refer you to the right place to look for a developer by asking several questions and then leading you to the best resource.<\/p>\n
Their recommendations can pinpoint what works best for your situations. For example, if you need a team of developers, or have a budget in mind, they\u2019ll send you to a website that is suited best for your situation. This can save you a lot of time and research with their quick search.<\/p>\n
You start off by answering 10 questions that will help it better understand your needs.<\/p>\n
![\"Developers](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/developers-for-hire-questionaire.png\")
The first question out of ten (accompanied by some clever illustrations).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n It will then give you their top choice, followed by others. In this example, you can see that the top choice was Toptal.<\/p>\n
![\"Top](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/developers-for-hire-top-choice.png\")
Toptal wins!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n It includes the pros and cons of why the company would be a good fit.<\/p>\n
![\"Pros](\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/developers-for-hire-pros-and-con.png\")
Pros and cons of Toptal for this particular project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n You also don\u2019t need to sign up for an account when using their service.<\/p>\n
There are no rates available for their site because, well, you don\u2019t hire directly from Developers for Hire since they take you to recommended companies. From that point, your rate will vary based on the project.<\/p>\n
This site is a quick and handy resource to help you find a suitable WordPress developer or designer.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Take Me Hire<\/h2>\n
Now that you know where to look for quality WordPress developers and designers, let\u2019s break down the ways to ensure you aim high to get a top-notch professional to work with.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Creating The Brief: <\/strong>Create a compelling brief that clearly outlines the scope of the project. The more detailed the information, the better. That way the project has an improved chance of staying on budget and the right candidate or team will know for sure if they can handle the job. Make sure the developer or designer understands completely the scope of the job. You don\u2019t want to throw any curve balls at them mid-project.<\/li>\n
- Ratings and reviews: <\/strong>Many of the websites that I covered have a rating and reviews for professionals. Be sure to read them carefully to help determine if that individual is right for you. If you\u2019re using applications to find someone, be sure to look over their website for any testimonials, portfolios (with live website examples), and never hesitate to ask for references.<\/li>\n
- You get what you pay for: <\/strong>A good WordPress developer and designer costs money. They deserve a fair rate and should be paid accordingly. Typically, the cheaper = cheap. If you don\u2019t pay the going rate for a project to get done and someone offers to do it for a very low cost, expect a cheap outcome that\u2019s probably not worth the costs. Please don\u2019t lowball developers and designers<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Paid test project: <\/strong>A small paid test can save you a lot of money in the long run. It will usually help you determine if the person is right for the job, without wasting tons of money by bringing that person in and ultimately not performing great. If it goes well, then you\u2019ll be able to hire with confidence to have the project completed by that same person.<\/li>\n
- Good communication: <\/strong>Be aware of time zone differences, work schedules, and any communication gaps to ensure your communication is good. After all, a good developer or programmer needs to communicate well with you, and likewise, you need to communicate well with them. Don\u2019t assume they\u2019re on the clock 24\/7 at your beck and call.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Follow these guidelines and use them when finding a good WordPress developer or designer. Otherwise, you\u2019ll just be adding more work to your already busy schedule trying to fix mistakes that were made on the way to finding a professional.<\/p>\n
If you have a new WordPress site being built or upgraded, we provide easier site management, award-winning plugins<\/a> that will optimize and improve your site to keep it in good shape with a WPMU DEV membership<\/a>, our hosting<\/a>, and our 24\/7 support.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Job Well Done<\/h2>\n
As you can see, it\u2019s all about knowing where to look, having guidance, and knowing what outcome is expected. And the job of finding a WordPress developer or designer can be done fairly easily with remarkable results.<\/p>\n
Then, when that right WordPress developer raises his or her hand and says, \u201cPick me!\u201d you\u2019ll call on them with confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
