Hire a developer

Hire a freelance WordPress developer. One person, your hours, no agency markup.

You are hiring for the work, not for a headcount. I take a defined piece of WordPress build or fix work and hand it back finished, working from Italy on CET hours.

Outcomes

  • One developer on the work, not a rotating pool and an account manager.
  • CET working hours, shared with most of continental Europe and covering almost the whole UK day, with async handover for US teams.
  • 20+ years of front-end and 8+ on WordPress, applied to the build you are paying for.

What hiring a freelance WordPress developer actually gets you.

An agency quotes you a team and bills you for one. A marketplace gives you a stranger and a 20% cut. Hiring one freelance WordPress developer directly means the person who reads your brief is the person who writes the code, and you can talk to them.

I work from Verona, Italy, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 CET. That is the same time zone as agencies in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and it overlaps almost the whole UK working day. For US teams the handover is async, written, and picked up the next morning.

The work is scoped before it starts. You get an hourly rate or a block estimate, and the scope closes before a line of code is written. No hidden costs, no surprises halfway through.

If it is not a fit, I say so. I reply within 24 working hours, even just to tell you I am not the right person for the job.

Questions before you hire

What does it cost to hire you?

Either an hourly rate or a block estimate, depending on how defined the scope is. I quote after reading what you need, and the scope closes before work starts.

Do your working hours fit European and UK teams?

Yes. I work Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 CET: the same hours as most of continental Europe, and 8:00 to 16:00 in the UK and Ireland. For US teams the work is handed over async and picked up the next morning.

Can you work under an agency brand?

Yes, and most of my work is white-label. The end client stays yours, I talk only to whoever assigns me the project, and every deliverable is presentable under your brand.

Do you take on small jobs, or only full builds?

Both. A full build from an approved design, or a single fix on a live site. What matters is that the work is defined enough to scope.

What happens after I get in touch?

I read what you send and tell you whether I can step in, within 24 working hours. If useful, a short call to close the scope. Then you get the estimate, before anything starts.

Send me the project.

No formal paperwork. Context, project stage and deadline are enough. I reply within 24 working hours.
