Premium WordPress theme vs WordPress theme developer
The WordPress ecosystem is rich with premium WordPress themes, ready to use. But if we have one piece of advice to give you, it’s better to go with a WordPress theme developer to get precisely what you want without the hassle. Here are four reasons why:
1. Theme control
Most premium WordPress themes will advertise lots of customization possibilities. But to get exactly what you want, you will probably need hours and hours of customization.
By hiring a WordPress theme developer, you keep the control of the final theme, with all the specs you need.
2. Sustainability
If you have found a top-notch premium WordPress theme, you should ask yourself this: how long is it going to be available and updated?
The truth is every change in WordPress core or premium theme update will probably generate new things to fix. Not the case with a WordPress theme developer working for you.
3. Maintenance
Any premium WordPress theme will come with a certain amount of customer support, and you will have to pay to extend the support period.
However, this won’t guarantee easy maintenance of your website. When you work with a WordPress theme developer from the start, you will know precisely how to maintain or fix bugs whatever update comes.
4. Speed
A lot of premium WordPress themes onboard loads of javascript codes by default. You probably won’t need them, but they will load by default with your theme.
Your WordPress theme developer will keep your website fast and light, using only what’s needed based on your specs. Your project will also be ready faster by saving time on awkward customizations of an existing theme.

SERVICES
Hire a WordPress theme developer:
how does it work?
Project-based or per hour
If you have one project to build, or you build websites sporadically, our recommendation would be to send us your project specs. We will quote them at a fixed price and it will give you the opportunity to see how we work.
If you have two or more websites to be built per month, or build e-commerce websites on a regular basis, hiring a full-time WordPress developer would be our recommendation.
How to communicate with your developer
You communicate directly with your WooCommerce developer using Skype, Slack or through your project management software. To make the relationship successful, it’s valuable for you as a partner to establish clear and open communication, just as you would with an internally hired developer.
Which working hours for your developer
Our standard working hours are 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. GMT and we work successfully with many partners in different time zones, from Asia to the US.
We’re happy to share our experience on how to make it work effectively, and under certain conditions, it may also be possible to make additional adjustments to our working hours in order to facilitate cooperation with you as our partner.

Do you work with other platforms than WordPress?
We want to be the best that we can be at what we do. That’s why all we do is WordPress and WooCommerce.
How to you custom build WordPress themes?
We prefer to work with custom-built WordPress and WooCommerce sites using Foundation or Bootstrap as CSS frameworks.
Custom builds are still easy to work with for your clients. Each site is built on the most current version of WordPress and WooCommerce and is compatible for future updates to WordPress core. We use Custom Post Types and Advanced Custom Fields to make it as easy as possible for your client to update their website.
What if I use a premium WordPress theme?
We do work on theme-based WordPress sites for partners who ask for it, but it is not our first choice except in very specific situations. Our experience shows that theme sites frequently take more time and effort to build and QA than custom projects do. This is especially the case when the theme’s physical layout needs to be modified from its standard layout. The data we have from many theme site builds shows that we frequently need to charge more for theme site builds than for custom builds.
How are websites delivered?
Our development team will assist in moving all websites live when ready. We have experience with many different hosts including WP Engine, GoDaddy, Digital Ocean, BlueHost and many more.
What are the WordPress developer salary rates at WLA?

How does outsourcing WordPress development compare to in-house teams in terms of cost?
When evaluating in house vs outsourcing options, outsourcing is generally more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house team. Outsourcing a WordPress theme developer eliminates costs associated with recruitment and training. Additionally, it offers financial flexibility by providing on-demand access to a skilled workforce.
What are the key skills to look for in our WordPress developers?
Key WordPress developer skills generally include proficiency in HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and cybersecurity. Additional skills are related to back-end development, Bootstrap, SQL, plugin development, jQuery, and MySQL.
