If you’re a small business owner who considers yourself a go-getter, building your own WordPress website seem’s like a no-brainer right? Not only is WordPress free but you also have access to hundreds of thousands of plugins at your fingertips giving you the ability to customize your website in any way you see fit.
So why hire a WordPress developer? To answer that question, here is a list of my top five reasons why you should consider hiring a WordPress Developer for your next project.
1. You are a business owner, not a WordPress Developer
Take a play from Tim Ferris, author of the Four Hour Work Week, delegate, delegate, delegate.
2. Time is money
Just because capable of building your own website doesn’t mean that you should. Why spend countless hours putting together a website when you can spend time where it matters? Growing your business.
3. WordPress Developers are familiar with more than just building your website
Unlike other web development professionals, WordPress developers know more than just code. We know SEO, web-design, web-accessibility, web security, web-hosting, domains, web-site maintenance, and more. In order to be great at what we do we must have a holistic view so we know how all of those pieces fit together.
4. Customization
When using site builders like Wix, Weebly, and Squarespace, you have a limited set of features available to you. One reason for this is to minimize decision fatigue. The other is to help their profit margin by prodiving additional features at higher costs. A WordPress Developer on the other hand does not face these same limitations. They have the skill to create a website that does what YOU want instead of being restricted by the software arbitrarily.
5. Building a WordPress website, is not just a one-and-done scenario
Things break, sites go down, and new features need to be updated on a regular basis.
So how do you hire a WordPress Developer?
If you are looking for someone who has over six years of WordPress experience, who has built websites for agencies, freelanced for small businesses, and worked for well-known WordPress companies, let’s talk.
