Role overview

What does a WordPress Developer do?

WordPress still powers over 40% of the web—and the difference between a mediocre site and a great one is the developer behind it. Marco's WordPress Developers build custom themes, optimize site speed, implement WooCommerce stores, and manage the technical infrastructure that keeps your site fast, secure, and ranking.

What does a remote WordPress developer do? They build and customize themes and child themes using PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; develop custom plugins; optimize Core Web Vitals and page speed; implement WooCommerce stores with custom checkout flows; manage hosting, SSL, and security (Wordfence, Sucuri); integrate third-party tools via REST API; and maintain staging environments. A remote WordPress developer costs $1,100–$1,600/month through Marco versus $6,000+/month for a U.S.-based WordPress developer.

Frequently Asked Questions

A WordPress Developer builds, customizes, and maintains WordPress websites — from theme and plugin development to performance optimization, security hardening, and migration. They typically work with Git, VS Code, AWS/GCP, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and modern frameworks like React, Node.js, or Django, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.
In the U.S., a WordPress Developer typically costs $6,000/month. Through Marco, you can hire a WordPress Developer from Latin America for $1,600/month, the Philippines for $1,100/month, or South Africa for $1,400/month — saving up to 82% while getting the same quality of work.
A WordPress Developer should have strong proficiency in PHP, WordPress core, custom theme and plugin development, WooCommerce, page builders (Elementor, Divi), and performance optimization. Experience with headless WordPress, REST API, and security hardening is preferred. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.
Hiring a remote WordPress Developer through Marco lets you hire rigorously vetted developers and engineers with computer science degrees and production experience, saving 70-80% compared to US-based engineering talent. Remote WordPress Developers also offer scheduling flexibility — many work US hours — and Marco handles vetting, onboarding, and ongoing support so you can focus on results, not recruitment.
Marco matches you with a pre-vetted WordPress Developer in as little as one week. Share your role requirements, review curated candidate profiles, conduct interviews with your top picks, and onboard your new hire — all with Marco's support. Every candidate is screened for technical skills, English proficiency, and cultural fit before you ever see their profile.
