Hire WordPress developers for your team in Ireland

Look for someone who can make changes safely and leave your editors with a site they can use. These are practical skills to check during a conversation or task.

• Editable layoutsBuild custom blocks and patterns, with theme.json settings that let editors arrange pages without breaking the design.
• Maintainable changesUse actions, filters, a child theme or a custom plugin. Leave WordPress core and other developers’ plugin files untouched.
• SecuritySanitise input, escape output, add nonces to forms and check user capabilities. Keep admin accounts limited and plugins maintained.
• SpeedOptimise images, use caching and reduce unnecessary scripts. Check Core Web Vitals after changes.
• Safe releasesUse version control and staging, deploy changes instead of editing live files, and preserve links when moving hosts.

You direct the work, while we provide developers who already work on our client projects. Our lead reviews code and keeps the work on track.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month. Tell us what is in your backlog so the arrangement matches the work you have ready.

2. 02

   Agree the setup

   A studio engagement usually moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence to the studio. With direct hiring, you have more control and take on a longer setup.

3. 03

   Join your workflow

   We work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. Agree overlap hours with us before work starts so questions have a clear place to go.

4. 04

   Get started

   Set up the development environment, walk through the product and codebase, and give the developer a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.

5. 05

   Keep accounts in your organisation

   Hold the repository, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm intellectual property assignment in the contract.

For cookies that are not strictly necessary to provide a service the user explicitly requested, the site must give clear information and obtain consent before storing or accessing them. We set up a consent banner and configure those cookies to wait for consent.

Remote access to personal data also needs attention. India is not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, so we agree appropriate transfer safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses with the module that matches the parties’ roles. We start with individual staging accounts and the least access needed, adding production access once the review process is in place.

Prepare enough detail for the developer to start on useful work and know how it will be reviewed.

• Rank the backlog, or describe the first tasks clearly enough to pick up and work on.
• Identify the skills and seniority needed, including front-end, back-end or legacy-system experience.
• Share your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer developer questions.
• Define doneset review rules, expected tests and how changes are deployed and approved.
• Provide an architecture overview, coding standards, branching and release process, and instructions for running the project locally. Record gaps found during onboarding.
