What is a WordPress developer?
A WordPress developer is responsible for front-end and back-end development of WordPress; an open-source content management system. They design and create custom plugins and modules for the system as functionally required by organisations. Essentially, they use WordPress’s software to create digital content and publish it online.
WordPress developer duties and tasks can include:
- Coordinating a businesses website architecture
- Liaising with clients to discuss website design and functionality
- Designing database and service integrations
- Generating themes and plugins
- Conducting troubleshooting and website performance tests.
These technical tasks are particularly well-suited to being outsourced as they are repetitive and rules-based, requiring a high level of attention to detail. Organisations free up their local web development teams time by sending these tasks to outsourced WordPress developers. This allows your onshore team to focus on higher value work.

What key skills and qualifications make a great WordPress developer?
WordPress developers spend a lot of their time implementing attractive and functional websites, including security plugins and site integration. They need to incorporate their technical knowledge of front-end programming languages with great interpersonal skills to create the best WordPress sites.
Outsourcing services recruit WordPress developers the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:
- What experience and knowledge do you have using programs such as PHP, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript?
- How familiar are you with SEO and its impact on web page development?
- What are your problem-solving and technical literacy skills like?
- How do you ensure excellent communication when speaking to stakeholders or clients to bring their website vision to life?
- What design and research techniques do you use to create engaging content?
- Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
- What debugging and code versioning tools are you familiar with?
In terms of qualifications, a higher education degree or certificate in computer programming is desirable. WordPress developers need to be fluent in technical programs such as CSS, PHP, and WordPress itself. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation's tech support requirements by hiring these specialists who understand how to translate an artistic idea into a well-functioning, successful WordPress site.
