We’ve already told you all the reasons your business website would benefit from switching to WordPress: it’s safe, secure, flexible, search engine friendly and easy to manage.

That said, if you’re looking to take your website up a notch (or five), hiring a WordPress developer is the next critical step in your digital marketing efforts.

A great WordPress developer can essentially take your creative design, concept or vision and make it a website reality. If you’re in the market for a WordPress developer, here are a few ways to choose the right one.

Do Some Background Research

A great WordPress developer will have an extensive portfolio of work to show you, which could help you create or modify your own creative vision for your website.

Perusing and interacting with a developer’s website is also a critical part of the selection process; after all, if his or her own site isn’t up to snuff, chances are he or she isn’t going to make yours any better.

Click around to get a feel for the user experience, including the prominence of calls to action and the overall site organization and navigation.

Understand the Timing

When you’ve got someone else working on your website, you’re going to want to understand a bit about the process.

That’s why it’s critical to discuss timelines and workflow before you hire a WordPress developer.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the full fee for the project, and how the fee is broken down into specific tasks, milestones or ongoing maintenance.

Ask about the quality control steps or processes each WordPress developer employs before pushing a site live, and at what points you’ll be able to review the site or content.

Be sure to ask about the overall timeline for creating your site and pushing it live; your business depends on a great website, so time is always of the essence.

Be Upfront About Your Involvement

The beauty of hiring a WordPress developer is that he or she can have as much or as little control as you’d like.

Whether you have a loose creative vision for your website, completed Photoshop files or no idea where to start, a good WordPress developer can take the reins.

A great WordPress Developer will be comfortable either designing a brand-true site from scratch or taking your existing creative resources and bringing them to life.
