Hire WordPress developers for your team in Austria

Ask how a developer will make changes that your editors can use and your team can maintain. These skills give you practical points to check:

• Editor-friendly pagesCustom blocks, block patterns and theme.json settings give editors ways to arrange content without breaking the design.
• Maintainable changesActions and filters let a developer alter behaviour through a child theme or custom plugin, without editing WordPress core or another plugin's files.
• Safer forms and accessLook for input sanitisation, output escaping, form nonces, capability checks and limits on admin accounts.
• Speed checksCaching, image optimisation and fewer scripts reduce work for the site; a Core Web Vitals check shows what changed.
• Controlled releasesVersion control and staging let the developer deploy changes without editing live files, and help when moving hosts.
• Store developmentWooCommerce work includes product types, checkout changes, payment and shipping extensions, and order data.

You work with developers already on our client projects, with design, development and launch handled by the same team. They are not freelancers found separately for your engagement.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month, according to the work you have ready.

2. 02

   Agree the setup

   We work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed up front so questions have a route to an answer.

3. 03

   Start with a real task

   An initial plan covers environment setup, a product and code walkthrough, and a small task touching the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Set access

   Use individual accounts with only the permissions needed, starting on staging and adding production access once the review process is in place.

5. 05

   Review the work

   A lead reviews code and keeps work on track, giving you a management contact alongside the developers doing the work.

A company website or blog gives your marketing team content to edit; a shop, membership site or course site can also handle payments and user accounts. Decide which tracking tools the site needs before adding them.

Cookies and similar tracking technologies need prior consent unless they are strictly necessary. For a site using non-essential tracking, we set up a consent banner and configure those technologies to wait for consent before they are set or read on a visitor's device. Include that behaviour in the release checks.

A little preparation gives your developer a route into useful work.

• Rank your backlog or describe the first tasks clearly, so the developer has real work to start.
• Share an architecture overview, coding standards, branching and release process, and instructions for running the project locally; record any gaps found during onboarding.
• Set out your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer the developer's questions.
• Define doneagree review rules, expected tests, and how changes are deployed and approved.
