Tech background

Of course, it is most important to make sure that the WordPress developer knows how to work with WordPress. Secondly, WordPress developer should have a solid background in technology. He/she should know how to improve or customize your site using WordPress capabilities. The right specialist should briefly explain to you all technical aspects of your website without using terminology which you never heard previously. He/she should evaluate how long it may take to build or optimize your site and which features are needed. Also, pay attention to long-term cooperation with WordPress developer. He/she should stay in touch with you and provide help if it is needed for your site.

Coding Skills

To make sure that the working process will provide best results choose a WordPress developer who is a technical professional. It means that he/she should not struggle with HTML and CSS. These skills are essential to ensure that the images and texts appear on your website without any problem. In addition, the developer should be experienced in working with PHP and JavaScript. PHP is essential for WordPress developers to work with the backend, structure the site, and interact with the database, while JavaScript is crucial for enhancing the frontend user experience, improving interactivity, and adapting to modern web development trends. All these skills ensure that your website will be professional and user-friendly.

SEO and Site Optimization

WordPress developers should have a strong understanding of search engine optimization (SEO) principles to ensure websites are easily discoverable. Optimizing site speed, security, and overall performance are essential parts of keeping a WordPress site functional and competitive.

Good communication skills

You might not pay much attention to this, but we suggest giving this skill some consideration. It seems that the WordPress developer should know what needs to be done on their own. Yes, that is right! But he/she should also understand what you want to see in the end. Without good communication skills, a developer will not be able to get what you expect for the final project. The WordPress developer should have effective communication skills to understand the way you see your website. We recommend choosing someone who answers your emails quickly and provides the answer which is clear for you. This will ensure your website is completed on time and help to prevent any loss in profit-making opportunities.

Creativity skills

Except for good communication and technical skills, WordPress developer should be a creative professional. It means that he/she will make your website look unique and special. That includes the right interactive features, written content, and choice of colors. Make sure that WordPress developer understands how WordPress templates work.

The choice should be interesting and engaging. Choose a developer who understands how to work with WordPress templates, and has the ability to execute it without an overwhelming amount of direction.
